Praise for Stupid Things I Won''t Do When I Get Old: "Petrow can''t prevent you from becoming your parents, but he can remind you how a positive attitude, gratitude, patience, and compassion can make a big difference." -- Booklist "Unbelievably witty and relatable, I alternated bursting into laughter and placing my hand over my face in horror thinking, Oh my God, is that me? I often say, at this age we have something young people can never have...wisdom. My dear friend, Steven Petrow, has wisdom to share in this honest, funny, wry guide to keep us young at heart, without desperately hanging onto our youth. I am buying this book for all of my friends!" --Suzanne Somers, New York Times bestselling author of A New Way to Age "Stupid Things I Won''t Do When I Get Old is an irreverent, funny, honest look at aging and all the things we take for granted as normal parts of aging. They don''t need to be. If you struggle with getting older and want to find a fresh perspective on lessons learned about what NOT to do as we age, and what TO do to stay young in heart, spirit, mind and body, read this book." --Mark Hyman, MD, #1 New York Times bestseller author of The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet , and Head of Strategy and Innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine. "Steven Petrow resolved to do things differently than his parents had when he gets old because he wished they''d been able to enjoy life more. His solution? He created a list! In this book, he shares the secrets to living a full life regardless of our age. It''s all about the decisions we make every day. My advice in a nutshell: Read this book and keep it handy." --"Dear Abby" (Jeanne Phillips), nationally syndicated advice columnist "It''s never too early to imagine what your life will look like as you age. And as I once wrote, ''We are not hostages to our fate.'' Petrow''s book will help you plan, think, and redefine what it means to get older--and even laugh while doing it." --Andrew Weil, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Spontaneous Healing and Healthy Aging: A Lifelong Guide to Your Well-Being "Steven Petrow not only has a great attitude about life, he is wise about how to live it. Like me, he says we should embrace our one life 100% and not let a number--our age--get in the way of anything! Steven''s book will help you rethink the word "aging" and approach this next chapter with a positive and proactive attitude. Plus, this book is fun!" --Denise Austin, renowned fitness expert, author, and columnist "Steven''s writing feels like sitting with a friend--one who is unusually gracious, warm and frank." --Carolyn Hax, author of the nationally syndicated advice column, Carolyn Hax Praise for Steven Petrow: "Steven Petrow''s Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners helps gays and straights navigate the subtleties of the same-sex world." -- People "Move over, Emily Post! When it comes to etiquette for members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community--as well as their straight friends, family members and coworkers--author and journalist Steven Petrow is the authority." -- TIME "What could''ve easily become a novelty book has emerged as an exhaustively researched, essential resource thanks to advice columnist and etiquette expert Steven Petrow." -- The Advocate "From having kids to planning funerals, Steven Petrow''s Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners has most facets of gay life covered. Ms. Post would approve." -- Entertainment Weekly "An indispensable refresher course...on what''s proper in modern...life." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old: "Unbelievably witty and relatable, I alternated bursting into laughter and placing my hand over my face in horror thinking, Oh my God, is that me?

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
