Pre Middle Age: 40 Lessons in Growing the Hell Up
What is pre middle age? Cole always answers, Well, when are you gonna die? Sure, we define it now as 30-50 but it s really about the first pangs of growing into a full-fledged adult. Ask When was your last really good nap? Are you living a life in sound bites? Is your exhaust broken? Have you lost...The Pretty? Ever had a meltdown and wished you could call Richard, in customer service, back? With charming transparency and wit, Cole challenges you to mature now instead of in your 80s. Her essays are quick, her life lessons brutally honest and her hunger for living with more grace and civility intoxicating. Whether pre, post or middle age, if one lesson doesn t resonate with you, the next certainly will.
