Who Am I Now?: What Happens When Success, Status, and Structure Fall Away, and How to Rebuild From Within.
About this ebook
Everyone who has worked for years looks forward to retirement and the freedom it promises. But there is a side of retirement, redundancy, and major life changes that few people talk about, and many of us are unprepared for.
What happens when the role that defined you disappears?
Retirement. Redundancy. Divorce. Selling a business. An empty nest. Relocation. Burnout.
When success, status, and structure fall away, one question remains:
Who am I now?
In this thought-provoking book, Chris Taylor explores the loss of identity that can follow major life transitions, examining why we often tie our sense of worth to our careers, achievements, and responsibilities.
This is not about finding another title or chasing a new version of success. It is about rebuilding from within, reconnecting with your values and discovering a sense of identity that does not depend on what you do or how others see you.
For anyone facing retirement, an unexpected ending, or a new chapter in life, this book offers a fresh perspective on purpose, self-trust, and what it means to move forward.
Because when the life you knew falls away, you have the opportunity to discover who you really are.
