The Midlife Manual by John O'connell
This manual is here to help those of us experiencing 'midlife', showing us how to get the meagre most out of these years and making us feel less alone. It will make you laugh. It may at times even be genuinely helpful.
A lovely book, full of unexpected pleasures.. Parisians claim that walking around Paris is an art form in itself, and Baxter proves them right. * Chicago Tribune *
Jessica Cargill Thompson is a freelance writer and editor. In 2007, a mini mid-life crisis prompted her to leave a great job as Deputy Editor of Time Out London in order to freelance, try new things, and be a better parent. Thanks to the recession, this proved to be a bad idea - in October 2009 she started the blog How to be Unemployed the White Collar Way. She has edited several books for Time Out, and lives in South London with her husband and two children. John O'Connell worked for years - far, far too long - at the London listings magazine Time Out, where he was Books Editor. Since being made redundant on the grounds that 'no-one really reads books anymore', he has been writing, mostly about books, for The Times, The Guardian, New Statesman and The National. He is the author of I Told You I Was Ill: Adventures in Hypochondria (Short Books, 2005). He is 37 and lives in south London with his wife and two children.
