About the Book

'Growing Old Is Not A Piece Of Cake...' is a new book by author Tom Holbrook that reminds us that we are all going to grow old, assuming we don't die early, so why not have fun in our old age and enjoy those final years! In this book Tom tells us of a place where older people are flourishing and, actually adding years to their lives. They do this by being involved in the many activities available to them, some they never even thought of when they were working. Have you ever wanted to be on the stage as an actor, magician or maybe a stand-up comedian? How about being a baton twirler like you were in high school and college? Maybe you would like to pull your old trumpet out and get involved with a band or orchestra. Are you a golfer but never got as good as you would have liked because you never had the time to play? Well, how about becoming a resident in a community that has 42 well-maintained golf courses and you can play free on 30 of them, everyday, for the rest of your life? How about being one of over 200 softball players where teams are chosen based on a person's ability? This place has 3 seasons of softball play in a year's time. Maybe you'd like to learn a new language or learn more about computers? This place has a Life-Long Learning College for its residents that you can go to and learn more of just about anything. Maybe you would just like to be around others like you and make new friends with which to enjoy your retirement years. How about finding that soul-mate that you've been dreaming of for many years? Sound too good to be true? Believe me, it's not. Check out this book and it will tell you exactly where this place is and maybe it will change your life forever. Tom has lived there 11-years after retiring from the insurance business and is now working on his third novel and writing for the local newspaper. He's growing old and having an absolutely great time doing it. Why don't you join him?
