Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old by Steven Petrow
In Stupid Things I Won't Do When I'm Old, Petrow candidly addresses the fears, frustrations, and stereotypes that accompany aging. He offers a blueprint for the new old age, and an understanding that aging and illness are not the same. As he writes, 'I meant the list to serve as a pointed reminder - to me - to make different choices when I eventually cross the threshold to 'old.''
