Stupid things I won't do when I get old : a highly judgmental, unapologetically honest accounting of all the things our elders are doing wrong / Steven Petrow with Roseann Foley Henry.

Introduction: I won't become like my parents when I get old -- Stupid things I won't do today -- Stupid things I won't do tomorrow -- Stupid things I won't do at "the end" -- Afterword.

"In Stupid things I won't do when I get 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 as a pointed reminder--to me--to make different choices when I eventually cross the threshold to 'old'" -- Excerpt from jacket flap.
