60 is the new 20: A boomers guide to aging with grace, dignity and what's left of your self-respect

Just in time for Christmas, Hanukkah and the Winter Solstice, you can buy a copy of 60 IS THE NEW 20 for the AMAZING Parc Place Book Club price of only $12 - and shipping is free!

A boomer's guide to aging with grace, dignity, and what's left of your self-respect, 60 IS THE NEW 20 is not a "joke" book, but neither is it one of those pious self-help books that suggest the author has discovered the secret to long life and eternal peace. Instead, it's an entertaining collection of personal essays benefiting from the honesty and self-deprecation of its author – me!

Read chapter 1

60 IS THE NEW 20 suggests that we face the future with humour, optimism and a certain amount of humility, fingers crossed that all will be well in the end. And if it isn't, there's always chocolate.
