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.
