Who You Become Next: Design a Purposeful Weekly Life for the Years Before—and Through—Leaving Full-Time Work

By Ellen Moray

You're not only leaving a job. You're deciding who you become next-and you can start designing that life while you still have a desk to leave.

Who You Become Next is a practical guide for employed adults roughly five to ten years from finishing full-time work (and for readers in the first years after leaving) who fear empty identity more than empty spreadsheets. Money books leave life design undone. Hobby lists leave you busy and still unsure. Cheerleading does not build a Tuesday that holds.

This book helps you:

- Face the "nobody" fear without melodramaand without pretending the job never mattered
- Map who you are becoming: values, practices, and contribution beyond the title
- Invent a week that holds youanchors, not endless ambition
- Choose activities without drowning in bucket lists (the Anti-List)
- Run small purpose experiments before you over-commit
- Contribute without becoming unpaid staff
- Redesign friendship after the office; navigate couples two clocks; design well as a solo reader
- Steady body and clearer mind as lifestyle systems (not medical advice)
- Plan phased exits and the first 30, 60, and 90 daysthen keep revising

UK-aware and written in British English, with clear signposts to official money and pensions guidance where needed. This is not investment, tax, legal, or medical advice, and it does not recommend financial products.
