If that’s true, we could all use a little help as we approach our twilight years.  Translator Tom Payne turns to Cicero, Ovid, Seneca, Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Aristophanes to learn what the wisest minds of antiquity could tell us about the pleasures and pains of old age. His discoveries are not always palatable (old age is an incurable disease) or inspiring (you’ll live longer if you don’t go to dinner parties), but in the surviving works of the classical world there is also comforting, invigorating and poignant counsel on mental decline, medicine, late love affairs, death and legacy. Presented in a modern, accessible and playful tone, this lively tour around ancient attitudes to ageing, supplemented by a translation of Cicero’s On Old Age, reveals the true art of growing old gracefully.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510431392017,"sku":"GOR006893047","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0099573172.jpg?v=1751421326"},{"product_id":"ancient-art-of-growing-old-book-tom-payne-9780099573180","title":"The Ancient Art of Growing Old","description":"Bette Davis said ‘Old age ain’t no place for sissies’.

WHAT DOES THE FATE OF ACHILLES SAY ABOUT THE DEATH OF AYRTON SENNA?    DO POP STARS SELL THEIR SOULS TO THE DEVIL?    WHY DOES ANYONE WANT TO BE FAMOUS?    AND WHY DO WE WANT THEM TO BE?    We're told that we're celebrity-obsessed. But are we? When we elevate mere mortals to the status of gods, is this a new disease, or a more ancient instinct?    Throughout history we have defined ourselves with reference to famous people and allowed them to exercise a strange power over us. But we have power over them too. Whether they are renowned for their intelligence, beauty, valour, athletic prowess or artistic genius, or even nothing in particular, they have always been at our mercy: We can give them glory and take it away.    Has fame changed? And is our fascination with it really such a bad thing? Tom Payne expertly surveys deities and divas through the ages to answer these puzzling questions and many more.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49567814418705,"sku":"GOR001280196","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/009951639X.jpg?v=1750693981"},{"product_id":"hanging-in-there-book-tom-payne-9781482354461","title":"Hanging in There","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49629647012113,"sku":"GOR013144540","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49642616160529,"sku":"GOR013762260","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50128583033105,"sku":"GOR006022978","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1482354462.jpg?v=1751085375"},{"product_id":"fame-book-tom-payne-9780312429935","title":"Fame","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49650946933009,"sku":"GOR006100416","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49710862795025,"sku":"CIN0312429932G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50296737792273,"sku":"CIN0312429932A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312429932.jpg?v=1751419898"},{"product_id":"pigeon-shooter-s-diary-book-tom-payne-9781846892363","title":"Pigeon Shooter's Diary","description":"The definitive manual on shooting pigeons from the highly experienced Pigeon Shot and Shooting Times contributor Tom Payne.    A comprehensive, instructive and easy-to-read guide, The Pigeon Shooter's Diary commences with descriptions of the quarry species, equipment and accessories followed by an in-depth guide to fieldcraft, reconnaissance and shooting instruction.      The Diary runs through the calendar year detailing the different techniques and skills needed for the changing conditions, all topped off with memories of special days in the field.      A must for all who love pigeon shooting, young and old","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49980446540049,"sku":"GOR011394496","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51104558448913,"sku":"GOR008673566","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108864520465,"sku":"GOR008909076","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1846892368.jpg?v=1751122611"},{"product_id":"path-to-job-search-success-book-tom-payne-9781511489546","title":"The Path to Job Search Success","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51093997027601,"sku":"NIN9781511489546","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53240735203601,"sku":"CIN1511489545VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1511489545.jpg?v=1751180276"},{"product_id":"no-medal-for-second-place-book-tom-payne-9781489579089","title":"No Medal for Second Place","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ -

When they speak they hold their audience in the palm of their hand. But most sales superstars are unaware that it is their charisma that makes them so much better than their competitors. How can that be? Nonverbal behavior, that most powerful form of communication, is the engine generating charisma, and it is a subconscious expression. You don't have to consciously think about looking happy when you are happy, or sad when you are sad. Your nonverbal behavior automatically expresses this. The subconscious nature of a sales superstar's nonverbal behavior-their charisma-is why their secret weapon is a secret even to them. Sales superstars have developed their charisma over the course of their entire life, but here is the good news for those who want to become charismatic: You can be completely lacking in charisma and become charismatic in one week. This book will show you how.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53378952626449,"sku":"NIN9780999507414","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780999507414.jpg?v=1775450578"},{"product_id":"path-to-christlikeness-book-tom-payne-9780999507421","title":"The Path to Christlikeness","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53385134833937,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53385135653137,"sku":"NIN9780999507421","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780999507421.jpg?v=1775596504"},{"product_id":"prodigal-son-season-2-dvd-0883929776849","title":"Prodigal Son: Season 2","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423231664401,"sku":"CINB099YZRQRPVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0883929776849.jpg?v=1776382971"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-tom-payne.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
