Book 48 Style Chic* by Paula Reed

Repetitive, but lots of good advice and lots of photos, esp. of older great looking women.   Hurrah for us.

Book 43 How Not to Act Old * by Pamela Redmond Satran

Great book for boomers, trying desperately not to get old.   Lots of fresh stuff in this book.

I learned that you shouldn't leave voicemail.  I already know the young don't wear a watch -- they just ask everyone what time it is -- no, sorry they look at their phones.  

I learned how not to be a cougar (not much danger) and a lot about bikini waxing.  

I love that she tells the boomers not to hover over the toilet seat and to toss out all plants and dried flowers, and not to send greeting cards.  

I have a lot of my own to add but am saving them for my own book.  

Book 33 You Could Live a Long Time, Are you Ready?* by Lyndsay Green

This book contains lots of good pointers for accepting and preparing for ill health when you get old. I found it discouraging.  But I am sure that most boomers believe it is inevitable to deteriorate mentally and physically, so this book tells you how to do it in a organized way and how to get lots of people to help you.

Me, I prefer to keep going on as I always have and in fact to get progressively younger.  I admit you have to work a little harder to stay in place, and you have to start early before you don't have the mojo anymore to reject books like this one. See my Warrior blog on how to do make sure you don't let your mind and body slip into negative ways. 

That aside, the advice about getting off your butt and cleaning out your accumulated stuff is on the mark for anyone. She also advises women to start to wear makeup in order to be taken seriously, which was unexpected and refreshing advice.
