Beskrivning
No-one wants to die young, but nobody wants to get old. Elke Heidenreich, having reached a certain age, has made it her mission to debunk some of our persistent myths about ageing in a witty and life-affirming book. It does not set out to be a self-help text: it is rather a wise essay on the author's life and experience as a writer, literary critic, journalist and television presenter. She has read widely and here shares the wisdom of her favourite philosophers, historians and authors.

"Heidenreichsucceeds in countering the prevailing, one-sided view of ageing with something tremendouslyliberating: serenity, and a great deal of optimism" ANNE BURGMER, Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger"What isparticularly pleasing about Heidenreich's book is her open-mindedness. Shethinks things through, tries things out, compares. She excludes nothing andstays curious, especially about books, reading, and writing... Heidenreichdoesn't make statements; she encourages us to not just sit quietly in a cornerand accept whatever happens" CORNELIA GEISSLER, BerlinerZeitung"Ageing byElke Heidenreich is the best-selling book of the year! Heidenreich offersvaluable tips on how to navigate this phase of life consciously and well. Awise, optimistic work that is both personal and honest" MediaControl "The severalhundred thousand readers of this book were probably seeking someone who couldshow them how to age with Heidenreich's distinctive cheerfulness. Female rolemodels for this have long been hard to find, including in literature andculture" MARIE SCHMIDT, Suddeutsche Zeitung"A wonderfully intelligentbook... in the familiar, jaunty Heidenreich style, straight from the heart tothe world... Elke Heidenreich is a female role model with a mission" NICOLE STRECKER, WDR 3
