In her hilarious book, Lunden takes 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! Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or more, this book is full of helpful information to embrace, or at least prepare for the inevitable.
