Synopsis
SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Whether he likes it or not, John is getting older. His hair is greying, it's getting that much harder to stay fit, and the potential to become something of an embarrassment is ever increasing. But hope is not lost. How to Grow Old is John's offering to the world. With sage advice on how to avoid the common pitfalls of age, intimate confessions and spit-your-dentures-out hilarious commentary on his own advancing years, this is his observational comic writing at its very best. If you were concerned about how not to be boring or how to get rid of your should-be-old-enough-to-manage kids, this the book has the answers., Intimate confessions and spit-your-dentures-out hilarious commentary - this is observational comedy at its best. How to Grow Old is a stupid title, because the answer is obvious: Don't Die . Provided you don't die, you are growing old. Don't come to this book under any illusions. It isn't going to tell you how to stay alive any longer. It won't help you understand the aging process from a sociological and anthropological perspective, and I'm not sure how much practical advice you're going to get. However, if you happen to want to know what a white, heterosexual, middle-aged man thinks of getting old - from the struggle to stay fit, keep hold of your friends or stay relevant, to why I'm better at doing a dump now than at any time in my life - this book could very well be exactly what you have been looking for. You might even find it a bit funny., Whether he likes it or not, John is getting older. His hair is greying, it's getting that much harder to stay fit, and the potential to become something of an embarrassment is ever increasing. But hope is not lost. How to Grow Old is John's offering to the world. With sage advice on how to avoid the common pitfalls of age, intimate confessions and spit-your-dentures-out hilarious commentary on his own advancing years, this is his observational comic writing at its very best. If you were concerned about how not to be boring, how to dress, or how to still enjoy sport when you're no longer very good at it, this the book has the answers.
