Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
According to comedian Bob Hope, you've reached middle age when your age begins to show around your middle. Minnesota-based Dorsen suggests that middle age is a slippery slope where men are often caught between their aging parents on the one hand and the acting-out of their own adolescents on the other, "with the siren song of a midlife crisis on the horizon." However, his advice on the physical and psychological changes that the over-40 male experiences is often lost in flat humor meant to be "old chum" but often sounding patronizing. There is definitely a market for a health adviser addressing the aging male, but choosing one is a personal matter, and readers will do better with the style, delivery, and content of Harvey Simon's Staying Well (LJ 8/92).?James Swanton, Harlem Hosp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and informative assay of the maturing American male., January 26, 1999
By A Customer
The great thing about this book is that Peter Dorsen writes with a sense of humor. You can tell he's not a traditional, button-down, by-the-book doc. There's lots of advice and information, but it's also fun to read. This would be a terrific book for women, too, if they want to get to know their over-40 guy better. I'm surprised it hasn't become a best seller.
