Now in its third edition, our perennial bestseller is packed with wisdom and wit from artists, pundits, and experts who contributed essays on a wide variety of subjects. The book comprises a veritable instruction manual for how to turn 50: everything from how to readjust your stock portfolio to how to readjust your underwear (to allow for more breathing room . . . wearing comfortable clothing is a privilege that you have more than earned by now). The underlying message is this: Relax. Now that you're 50, you don''t have to prove yourself anymore, so take care, get your house in order, and these will be the best years of your life.
