Into the book
The generation now in their 50s to 70s is no longer simply a generation preparing for old age, but rather a time of possibility in which they are designing the second half of their lives anew.
So, I think the term 'new middle-aged' is an expression that captures the changes of this era well.
--- p.20
“Where do I belong now?” is the question most often faced by middle-aged people.
This shake-up of belonging creates deeper emotional instability than expected.
When relationships break off one by one, and the places I belong to no longer look for me.
The heart gradually shrinks inward.
But there is a way.
--- p.32
Things I didn't know when I was young now seem clear to me.
It becomes clear what you must hold on to and what you must let go of.
This is the time when the fruits of life remain as inner strength.
Its power cannot be fully expressed in words.
But if you write it down, it won't disappear with time.
Someone who reads the text gets another interpretation and lesson from it.
Life goes on like that.
--- p.42
Someday, a middle-aged person who reads this book might be lecturing in the classroom next to mine.
If so, it would be a great reward and joy to me.
--- p.68
For practical books and informational content, direct sales and commerce platforms are advantageous, while for experience-based essays or branding purposes, publishing platforms are appropriate.
What's important is 'the reason for writing, not money.'
But writing with sincerity ultimately leads to economic value.
--- p.81
Time for myself is never selfish.
Rather, the more time we have to take care of ourselves and recharge, the warmer and stronger we can become as people.
Let's put aside the weight of life we've been running through for a moment and live each day filled with joy rather than responsibility.
There's no need to make something grand.
--- p.98
As your role at work diminishes, the feeling of emptiness grows, and you feel less needed at home, your heart becomes even more shaken.
This is the sorrow that middle-aged people face.
But if you look a little deeper, you will find that there is still a living desire within it.
I want to learn more.
I want to try something new.
I hope my experience will help someone.

Publisher's Review
Is retirement the end of life? Now is the time to stand up again!
Work, relationships, money, health, mind… …
The most realistic lesson on designing a second life for middle-aged people
The days of your 50s are long and the blank spaces are unfamiliar.
Your name is erased from your workplace and familiar relationships slowly become distant.
Middle age, a time when even the kind of person I was becomes vague.
As the busiest years of my life pass, I find myself with more time, and in that time, I feel like I am getting smaller.
Author Kim Bong-su, who won the sympathy of countless readers with his book “The Second Half of Life: A Realization at Forty,” has returned with specific solutions for the second act of life.
The author conveys the message that retirement is not the end, but another starting point, and says that he wrote this book, "How to Live in This Era for Middle-Aged People," for a generation going through a period of uncertainty and uncertainty in their daily lives.
A time when you must step down from your position at work, are no longer the center of your family, and your role in society is gradually disappearing.
The author firmly states, “Nevertheless, we must redesign our lives.”
This book is structured around six keywords for the second half of life.
Chapter 1 presents a way to transform retirement in middle age from anxiety into a "sign of new life," and Chapter 2 presents an economic model that connects experience to profit.
Chapter 3 deals with how to shift the focus of relationships from others to 'me', and Chapter 4 deals with specific methods for restoring physical and mental routines.
Chapter 5 talks about how to design your own path, and finally, Chapter 6 talks about the quality of ‘growing old in your own way.’
"How to Live in This Era" looks at reality coolly, but does not give up.
It teaches us how to turn the vacuum that comes to everyone after retirement into an opportunity, how to rebuild ourselves when the familiar world crumbles, and how a generation that was once at the center of society can "become the center again" in their own way.
The biggest enemy in the latter half of life is not age or the era, but ‘stopping.’
This book offers sharp and bitter advice to all the middle-aged people who fear change: it is time to learn, work, and live again.
For a stable and happy second life, let's walk again at a new pace without fear.
Experiences don't disappear.
The moment you record it, it becomes an asset!
The art of turning the gap after retirement into work: Act 2 of life
Even if the title disappears, the experience remains.
The author of this book presents practical solutions to revive the past through 'recording' and 'branding' based on his past experiences.
"How to Live in This Era of Middle Age" details practical methods for rebuilding oneself after work and business cards disappear, in other words, for monetizing life after retirement.
The experience you've accumulated over half your life can now become your new career.
Decades of work experience, relationships with people, and repeated failures and successes.
All the know-how that middle-aged people possess is not just a thing of the past, but content that can be helpful to someone and an asset that is still needed by society.
This book shows you how to make it happen concretely.
From promoting my expertise through blogs, to sharing my experiences through lectures and e-books, to building my own brand… … .
This proves that retirement is no longer the end, but rather the starting point and opportunity to reinterpret myself as content.
For the generation that has been stuck in anxiety and emptiness since retirement, records are survival, and experiences are the capital to get back on their feet.
This book shows how people who have created new meanings for themselves in the place where their familiar world has ended can transform the time after retirement into their own stage.
For those of you who need a concrete blueprint to transform your career from a retirement to a fresh start, this book will serve as your second life map.
