Description

Of today's retired men, one third are reasonably happy, one third are dissatisfied, and one third have resigned themselves to their situation. After retiring, Dag Sebastian Ahlander, former Swedish Consul General in New York, learned the importance of relishing every age--despite setbacks and illnesses--in order to acquire wisdom and perspective and gain greater satisfaction for the years that remain. Drawing on his own experiences, Mr. Ahlander penned " Handbook for Happy Old Men ," offering 109 pieces of advice for making the change from Grumpy Old Man to Jolly Gent.
