Better than most on aging. Baldwin is a good writer. Includes some hard stuff, yet isn't at all a downer. -- CBA Marketplace, March 2005

Product Description

"A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO OLD AGE-Life Changes After 50" is a highly entertaining description of dealing with issues one must face when aging. Beginning with denial. As one endorser said, "Most of us don't think about being over the hill until we're rolling briskly down the other side. Stan's book combines wit, wisdom, and a wacky look at the later years. After reading it, I am better prepared to make my later years golden years."

5.0 out of 5 stars funny but insightful, April 14, 2005

By	Kathryn E. Miller (INDIO, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this book is not only entertaining and funny, it's insightful and helpful. I really related! I found myself in the pages and could give myself grace and joy in the midst of seeing some evidence of aging--even at 54!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was hoping for, November 10, 2008

By	D. Wood (Goose Creek, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book for my husband (who is 51) and having trouble accepting that he is getting older. I read an excerpt, saw that it was lighthearted and hoped it would help my husband feel more comfortable in his wrinkling skin. Having a short attention span (except when it comes to 24 hour news programming) I needed something he would follow through on.
This book was a perfect choice! He read it over the course of three days, sometimes sharing bits with me. He identified with it cover to cover. Good stuff!
