Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

There's a moment most of us know well. Something ends, a job, a relationship, a version of who we thought we'd become, and the ground seems to drop out from under everything that came before it. We call it a loss. We treat it like the final line of a story that was supposed to keep going.This book argues that the moment is something else entirely.Drawing on everything from compost bins to trapeze artists to the quiet aftermath of a career that didn't pan out, The End Is Where We Start makes the case that endings aren't where meaning runs out, they're where it gets reorganized. A caterpillar doesn't survive metamorphosis in any recognizable form, and neither do we, most of the time, when something big in our lives comes apart. What looks like dissolving is usually the early, unglamorous stage of becoming something else.J.K. Konrad isn't interested in easy silver linings. There's real space here for grief, for the identity that doesn't come back once it's gone, for the months that feel like nothing is happening at all. But there's also a steady argument, chapter after chapter, that the space right after an ending is rarely as empty as it feels, and that the next beginning is usually smaller, quieter, and closer than we expect.This isn't a book about bouncing back. It's a book about what actually happens in between, and how to stop rushing past the part of the story where the real work gets done.For anyone standing in the middle of an ending they haven't figured out how to read yet, this book is a place to start.
