More Rules for Aging: Making the Most of Your Ridiculous, Wondrous Life

Roger Rosenblatt's Rules for Aging was a major national bestseller when it burst onto the scene "the humorous, thinking man's self-help book" (Newsday) twenty-five years ago. Now, Roger is back with even more bang. More Rules for Aging contains nearly twice as many rules, so is nearly twice as instructive and nearly twice as funny. As with the original, the laughs engendered are laughs at oneself: "Nobody is thinking about you," "Run when they say, 'We must do this again, '" et al. The key to enjoying this book is a willingness to turn every commonly held supposition on its head. A rule such as "The three 'reallys' rule" shows how to spot when people don't mean what they say. "Screw it up royally" speaks to the indispensable value of making mistakes. Roger very much hopes that you will buy this book, for yourself, your loved ones, your friends young and old, so that he may live the luxurious life to which he has yet to be accustomed. Of course, that would require that you think about Roger, and not about yourself. Thus Roger violates his own rule. He is already thinking about you.
