Book description
Building a Better Boomer offers laugh-out-loud advice for the generation caught between ChatGPT and Betamax VHS. Here's hilarious ways boomers can see better, eat better, exercise better, sleep better, retire better, and, maybe, even remember better-and still be around for the launch of the iPhone 211 Pro."Neil Offen has become one of America's greatesthumorists, embracing the lighter side of the aging processwith charm and wit culled from personal experience. Hiscolumns, and now this book, have become must-read."-Marty Appel, New York Times bestselling author ofPinstripe Empire and Munson"Neil Offen's timing is perfect. This is the moment whenwe need a book that is this funny-Oen makes us laugh atsubjects that are not supposed to be funny, which may bethe denition of the best humor. Building a Better Boomernever stops and never misres."-Mark Kurlansky, New York Times bestselling authorof Salt; Cod; and The Importance of Not Being Ernest"Neil Offen offers laugh-out-loud-but still practical-advice about how to deal with the indignities of growingolder, all the while trying to combat aging and agingstereotypes. This is a book for all boomers, and those whocare for and love them."-Steven Petrow, contributing columnist TheWashington Post and author, Stupid Things I Won't DoWhen I Get Old"I have often heard it said that there is nothing funny aboutgrowing older. Well, as Neil Offen proves-hysterically-inBuilding a Better Boomer, that is wildly inaccurate. Iflaughter truly is the best medicine, this is a book that Iheartily prescribe for my fellow boomers. Offen's sharp-and unfortunately accurate-observations will make youlaugh out loud, assuming of course you can rememberwhere you left your reading glasses. Let me suggest that thenicest thing you can give to one of our peers is this gift oflaughter."- David Fisher, New York Times bestselling author"There's no better source of smiles, laughs, even guffaws, asyour body deteriorates and your role in society diminishes, than these essays by humor-writer-nonpareil Neil Offen."-Mitchell Stephens, author of The Voice of America: Lowell Thomas and the Invention of 20th-CenturyJournalism"Neil Offen's hilarious Building a Better Boomer is a raremix of laugh-out-loud and close-to-the-bone. Sure, it'sfunny but it's also insightful, sweet, and even provocative.You will read this book to laugh and keep from crying, because, as Neil so shrewdly observes, 'there is a limit onhow much better we can become.'"-Frank Van Riper, author of Recovered Memory: NewYork & Paris 1960-1980
