Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old: A Highly Judgmental, Unapologetically Honest Accounting of All the Things Our Elders Are Doing Wrong Free Audiobook Download by Steven Petrow
Our culture is obsessed with youth, but the truth is that no one ever stops aging. One of the best ways to combat the natural onset of old age is to change your lifestyle. No matter what you think about our elders, you should be able to agree with at least this one thing: they have their own funny things that they do and we might end up laughing about these mistakes for years to come. That's why I wrote Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old a highly judgmental and unapologetically honest account of all the things our elders are doing wrong.
The Great Trouble with Our Elders is that They've Lost the Ability to Drive In this highly judgmental, unapologetically honest accounting of all the things our elders are doing wrong by Steven Petrow, a man who has spent his entire life driving, there is much to be gleaned: what kinds of drivers they are, how they hog the road, why they're always cutting me off and not giving way. But I think my favorite parts are when he tells us about how he'll never lose his license.
"I'm not going to give you a list of things that my parents are doing wrong and all the reasons why," Steven Petrow writes, "because it would be too long. Too boring. And I want to leave something for myself." His book is a funny, poignant critique of how old people behave as they age. He's slightly embarrassed by their behavior and embarrassed by how much he still depends on them - almost admitting he won't quit his job or move out until his retirement.
Often times when we think about aging, our minds tend to drift towards the idea that things are going to get smoother and easier. We imagine a life of comfort and ease, where we no longer have to worry about unpleasant situations like hurtful words or stress. Unfortunately, that's rarely the reality of life after decades of living and work. Most often, getting older means more responsibility and hard work.
Every day we get older, and some of us are lucky enough to have the chance to live a long life. For most of us, though, we won't make it past a hundred, most likely. That's why this book is perfect for someone who wants to know what they will miss out on after they die. Steven Petrow created this fun-to-read book to entertain and educate you with hilarious anecdotes on what not to do when you get old. I highly recommend this book!
This is an audiobook that will remind you of what the elders in your life are doing wrong. It's not just a memoir, however, but rather a reminder of how to be a better person and not make the same mistakes they made. The author has some interesting takes on why we do the things we do and how we don't just change everything when we get old.
