While there are endless books on being young, there are precious few on how to embrace the aging process. We don't think we're old until suddenly we can't do something that until now has never been a problem. We don't feel we're old because our habits and reactions were formed when we were younger, and as they served us well we see no reason to change them. But growing older inevitably brings new challenges and The Genial Senior's Companion to Ageing is here to help anyone face the later years of their life with a refreshing, reassuring, and humorous approach. A is for age, ailments, and ambition; L for lists, loneliness, and luck; T is for technology and The Genial Senior's Companion to Ageing is the perfect gift for anyone approaching the later years of their life.
Well written, well done, funny, unlike anything I've seen so far. This was different in a good way. Now if you don't have a sense of humor just go for another book...
I can imagine friends sharing that with "older" people. I'm 36 and this made me laugh!
