Baby, I'm the Boss of Me: Embracing the Power and Joy of Getting Older, Paperback/Ruth Yunker

Descriere

Contributor(s):Author: Ruth Yunker There's nothing funny about age creeping up, is there? But in humorist Ruth Yunker's skillful hands, her newest book Baby, I'm the Boss of Me: Embracing the Power and Joy of Getting Older, presents a timeless look at growing older, that is both funny and heartfelt. If duly noted, there's an underlying joy, humor, and optimism regarding the whole process. A joie de vivre at such a precarious point in life is ever-present throughout this delightful and lyrical book. When Yunker, despite her best intentions to ignore the whole aging thing, actually slipped into middle age and finally realized there was no way out of the journey, she made a choice. Instead of caving in, rolling over, and hiding at home, she chose to see this chapter of her life as amazing, colorful, and powerful. She chose to see it as filled with hope and love, and yes, the wonderful beauty of humor. Part memoir, part literary exploration, Baby, I'm the Boss of Me offers stories of Yunker's life, her tips and strategies, and the everyday things that delight and/or irritate her. This book is not self-help specifically, but through her own experiences and how she is choosing to navigate this amazing period of her life, the stories she tells show a path of how to get from here to there while savoring every minute...well, almost every minute.
