From a man who has written more than his share of feel-good self-help books, Not Dead Yet, a wry, perceptive, and hilarious account of the retirement years, debunks the AARP-originated myth of ruddy-faced seniors grinning and golfing their way into a golden sunset, and offers some helpful (if cynical) advice about finding a new purpose in later life.
