About this listen

Lyn Slater empowers listeners to rethink ageing stereotypes in this sharp and refreshing audiobook.

Who says being old isn't fun?

With her characteristic optimism and forward-thinking, 'rules are meant to be broken' philosophy, Lyn Slater teaches us How to Be Old in a youth-obsessed world. Slater offers the possibility that - even with all its challenges - being old is just like any other new beginning in your life. Not only can it be done successfully, but it can be the best and most fun of any new life chapter.

Including advice on everything from fashion to social life, work and where to live, How to be Old will empower you. Flaunting her grey hair, wrinkles, Slater breaks stereotypes and refuses to be invisible. She is the Accidental Icon all women need - you'll want to gift this book to all your friends.

Be inspired to come alive in new ways as you hit midlife and beyond. You can decide how to age.

I love this book and am about to re-listen to it in case I missed anything. Lyn Slater is a suffragette, a writer, a mom, a model, a daughter, a lover, a grandmother, a pioneer, an anarchist, an artist, a professional and all that is great about being an evolving amazing woman. I’m 63 about to retire from a long career in law and am no longer afraid. How to be old is gold dust. Thank you Lyn. ❤️
