About this listen
How I Learned I'm Old is a collection of humorous essays embedded with a smattering of serious insights. Together, they tell the tale of what happens when middle age mysteriously departs and old age claims its territory. Baby Boomer women are devouring the book and its subjects, finally finding a venue to laugh about their new reality.
Topics like "The New Party Game" (counting wrinkles on other women’s faces), the insulting arrival of chin hairs, and the sudden inability to monitor personal opinions in the presence of strangers have universal appeal. So do chapters about mean girls in their seventies and the emotional legacy of mothers.
The book is divided into sections: “Mind”, “Body”, and “Spirit”. Always with a comical overtone, it also delves into the more important benefits and realizations of the aging process, what friends teach us by example, who we miss most when they’re gone, and which values, in the end, really matter.
