More Rules for Aging

Roger Rosenblatt's Rules for Aging was a major national bestseller when it burst onto the scene as "the humorous, thinking man's self-help book"* twenty-five years ago. Now, Roger is back with bang. More Rules for Aging contains nearly twice as many rules, so is twice as instructive and twice as funny. As with the original, the laughs engendered are laughs at oneself: "Nobody is thinking about you yet," "Run when they say, 'We must do this again, '" et al. The key to enjoying this book is a willingness to turn every commonly held supposition on its head. A rule such as "Don't use common sense" is useful if one realizes how little people prize common sense. "Screw it up royally" speaks to the indispensable value of making mistakes.

Roger very much hopes that you will buy this book, for yourself and for your many friends, so that he may live the luxurious life to which he has yet to be accustomed. Of course, that would require that you think about Roger, and not about yourself. Thus Roger violates his own rule. He is already thinking about you.
