What Nobody Tells You About Getting Older

The changes in the human body sneak up on us as we age 

. . . until we are finally forced to address them. What Nobody Tells You About Getting Older explores what's happening with pragmatic information that's as likely to make you laugh as to say, "I didn't know that!"

WHOSE IDEA is this crazy collection of information, anyway? 

As she aged, author Mary Westheimer began keeping a list of all the things she didn't know about getting older. After five years she realized that list had gotten pretty long, and some of the insights, well, if she had only known!

Now you, your family members, and friends can benefit from this easy-to-digest collection of ideas, perspectives, and actions that will change your life for the better.

"At 93, these are all things that have happened to me, the kind of things people used to whisper about. . . . But they are true and are things especially women should know. They are part of life, and we are better for knowing them. Every woman should read this book!" 

 -Wiltrud Anand, Phoenix, Arizona

"I LOVE this book. It's so creative and affirming, funny, and informative. In fact, I learned a lot. Pragmatic information like this is a great resource to help people face their futures in healthy ways. I'd like all my girlfriends to read this!"

"This book balances the reality of aging with ways we can actually address it. Whether you want it for yourself or to give as a gift to someone who is inching up the aging

ladder, this book will make you think, laugh, and yes, probably change a habit or

two for the better."
