Coming Home After 50: A Journey of Rediscovery

By Maxwell Farnon

An honest, personal account of what happens when the career you built your identity around suddenly disappears — and the slow, messy, real journey of figuring out who you are without it.

This is not a self-help book with ten steps and a promise. It is a personal story about grief, reinvention, and the process of coming home to yourself after the working world decides it is done with you.

What the Book Covers

• The Shock of Job Loss — What the first days and weeks really feel like.
• Identity Beyond Your Job Title — When your career defined who you were for 30+ years, losing it is an identity crisis.
• The Job Market After 50 — What has actually changed about hiring and the unspoken reality of age discrimination.
• Finding Your Way Back — A real account of the slow, non-linear process of figuring out what comes next.
