There Are No Grown-ups A Mid-Life Coming of Age by Pamela Druckerman
The book is summarised in chapters as -
You know you have a fortysomething body when..
"You have gained and lost the same ten pounds so many times you feel a certain affection for them".
"You have Googled everyone who was ever of any importance in your life. You sometimes forget this and Google them again". For me it happens to be artists.
We want our authors to wade along with us even in age. We want our poets too, to make sense of what lies beyond the hill of the peak age.
Advice for modern men on turning 40
It is ironic that Forty is XL and 50 is L.
Commencement speech
