If a little positive attitude goes a long way, this book should go on forever. And with baby boomers now hitting the 60 mark, the timing couldn't be better. Age Is Nothing: Atitude Is Everything is a small, sweet, funny reminder that when it comes to muscles, minds, and dancing shoes, we need to use 'em or lose 'em. Experts on such things talk about the importance of role models for young people. What a bunch of poppycock After all, being young is a breeze. Getting old--now there's a challenge. As more and more of us peek down the backside of the hill, we need role models not just to show us how to grow old gracefully but how to stay young at heart indefinitely. In Age Is Nothing: Attitude Is Everything , that's just what we get--a bookful of spunky seniors doing it right. This playful and empowering little book collects photos of gray-but-game enthusiasts celebrating life in myriad ways--all accompanied by upbeat text that keeps the focus on fun. * Silver-haired sirens take a steam bath proclaiming, We're not getting older, we're getting hotter. * A skateboarding septuagenarian urges readers to release your inner whippersnapper. * Pool-shooting grannies remind us to always give it our best shot. And that's just the beginning. Throughout the book, seniors ski, swing, run, laugh, hug, surf, laugh some more, and soak up the sun. With fun guest appearances from famous elders George Burns, Albert Einstein, and Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies, Age Is Nothing: Attitude Is Everything's message is delivered loud and clear: Getting older is mandatory--feeling older is entirely up to you.
Peter Stein's book Age is Nothing: Attitude is Everything is a quick but inspiring and humorous look at aging. Instead of looking at the common ailments and ills of aging as a reason for frustration or depression, Stein urges readers to look at the humor and the possibilities in aging. Using funny and clever photographs and captions, Stein crystallizes what a dear departed friend of mine once said, "I can choose to be sad or I can choose to be happy. I choose to be happy." This book is an inspiring book for all ages, but especially for those in middle and old age who are coming to grips with a fundamental fact of life.
Attitude, attitude!

This little gem of a book was funny and inspiring (a unique combination!)! I particularly enjoyed the focus on keeping a positive approach to life, with great nuggets of how to remind yourself to live as an optimist. I also liked how this book can be read quickly, but is deep enough to be read again (and again) for additional inspiration.

I loved this book!! What a fabulous message for anyone, regardless of age. Whether you're in your 30's or 80's--live life to its fullest. These images of outrageous elders doing whatever the hell they wanted, was very inspiring. Consider this one as a birthday gift for someone who may need some attitude adjusting. Better yet, keep one in the bathroom for yourself on those days when you look in the mirror and start to moan about those new lines, gray hairs or simple pains that bum you out. It made me smile.

What a great little book! It's inspiring, humorous, and meaningful, all at the same time! The witty text and amusing pictures go together so well. Some pages strike home more than others, and this changes each time I look through this book. At under $10.00 it's a great gift for numerous people (especially as the holdiay season approaches), and I know many young people, as well as not-so-young people, will appreciate it!
