When does one actually become old? Is it when you hang up your career and retire, dividing life into "before" and "after" retirement? Or is it when you think while tying your shoes: Now that I'm down here, what else can I get done? For Jürgen Brater, it was the moment a young girl on the bus offered him her seat. A moment that led to a shocking self-realization: I guess I'm old now. But he decided that it was a waste of time to dwell on it – and took it as an opportunity to approach things more relaxed. Boring conversations about illnesses? Not for me. Always being on call for the grandkids? No thanks. Youth obsession? Forget it! If now isn’t the right time to enjoy life, then when is? An entertaining book for everyone.
