What's Age Got to Do with It?: Living Your Healthiest and Happiest Life
By Robin McGraw
see related
I've just read What's Age Got to Do With It? by Robin McGraw.

I'd never heard of Robin McGraw before reading this book, though I gather that she's a TV personality.

What kind of job is that? being a personality?

Anyway, this is a fun book. It's a guide to health and beauty for older women, but it's not a serious book that's going to tell you to eat right, exercise, and learn about options for managing menopause. Oh, I mean, McGraw tells you that stuff, of course. It would be irresponsible not to include those things in a book on the subject. But she invites you in, gives you a glass of sweet tea, tells you your shoes are just adorable, asks you to sit down, tells you all about her grandma and how many calories are in a bagel -- girl, you wouldn't believe it! -- and then tells you to eat right and exercise.

So it's basically much more fun.

McGraw seems like a very nice, down-to-earth woman, and we should all have her positive attitude toward aging.

I think she's Dr. Phil's wife.  Which is probably unfortunate for her.

I have to admit that I'm not real clear on who Dr. Phil is. A daytime talk show host? I have a mental picture of him, actually -- I know I've never seen him on TV, but I can clearly see him in my mind's eye. Feeling ignorant, here. But McGraw does mention him quite a bit. He rubs her feet, for example, and makes workout mix tapes for her. Does this make you like him better?

Having a positive attitude toward aging is an awful lot easier for people who haven't started aging yet.

It's the kind of job I want: personality, role model, influence, inspiration. But I want to get PAID.
