The Wonder of Aging

Michael Gurian Read by Nick Podehl Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Ellin Stein presents the untold story behind a revolution in American comedy. Labor Day, 1969. Two recent Harvard graduates move to New York to edit a new magazine called the National Lampoon. Brilliant humorists Henry Beard and Doug Kenney presided over a team that within a decade transformed American culture and conquered the mainstream with a brand of subversive humor that provoked, offended, and often illuminated.

Michael Gurian sees life after fifty as an enormously fruitful, exciting, and fulfilling time.

Drawing on scientific research as well as anecdotes that respond to the needs of his many clients, he goes beyond the physical-centered view of aging and presents a new, holistic paradigm embracing opportunities that come with life after fifty. Written with his contagiously optimistic outlook on life, it provides a full, constructive, and comforting roadmap of what to expect and how to celebrate the second half of life.
