Large Print Book
Why did I come into this room? : a candid conversation about aging / Joan Lunden.
Lunden delves into the various phases of aging that leave many feeling uncomfortable, confused, and on edge-- and does it by taking the dull and depressing out of aging, replacing it with wit and humor. After all, laughing is better than crying-- unless it makes you pee! She explores the science of aging, including how it affects the body and brain, while dispelling myths. Her helpful information will help you embrace-- or at least prepare for-- the inevitable. -- adapted from back cover
