Description:  xvii, 188 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  ""I believe Freud got it wrong when he said that the two basic drives that motivate our thoughts and behavior are 1) sex and 2) death, which he sometimes called aggression, go figure. So what runs the show, then? Fear of embarrassment prevails until the age of thirty, followed by the desire to lose weight, and finally, the need to sit down." Longtime New Yorker staff writer and former Saturday Night Live TV comedy writer Patty Marx employs the weapon she wields best--razor-sharp humor--to tackle what is perhaps the most difficult facet of aging-the decline of the mind. From losing her keys to forgetting her sister-in-law's name, Marx has done it all, and somehow prevailed with friendships in tact. This book speaks to women and men of a certain age, but it will make you laugh at any age. Anecdotes about trying to learn Cherokee, zapping her brain with electricity, taking pills that make her pay attention, and listening to hours of Mozart--all in the service of keeping her mental faculties intact. Patricia Marx wrote the novels Him Her Him Again and Starting From Happy, as well as How To Regain Your Virginity"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  American wit and humor.
