Product Description

Product Description

Never mind about ruling the world, although you could, no doubt, do it better than the idiots in charge. Who cares about being youthful, athletic or handsome when you've been there, done that and got the scars to prove it? Joking apart, there are plenty of ways to make your life much happier as you get older and that's what this little book is really all about. It's a mixture of humour and advice, written by a very contented 83-year-old who knows what he's talking about. After deciding to make happiness your top priority, learn how to attain and keep it, with brief lessons ranging from not taking yourself - or anyone else - seriously, and the need for a HOW (happy old woman) to neighbours - like them if it kills them - and enemies (how not to have any). Remember that hurrying is for the young! So, sit back, relax and enjoy life.

Funny and oh so true! 22 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book is a great stocking filler or impulse buy for that mature man in your life. Humourous and poignant, it's a book that clearly draws upon the expereince of this wisened author. And as everyone knows, behind every Happy Old Man, there is a Happy Old Woman!

Grumpy old me 13 Mar 2009
By Rusty
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as a joke for my Grumpy Old Man, thinking that it would make him laugh. It is however filled with serious, common semse instruction on what to collect, read, to take up hobbies etc., none of them interesting. Very disappointing.
