New Tricks for Old Dogs

28 Laughable Lessons for People Too Stiff to Change . . . or Bend . . . or Move

Beschreibung

New Tricks for Old Dogs is a gentle, but hilarious spoof of self-help literature especially as it applies to more mature practitioners. Self-improvement is applicable and beneficial to the young, but much more difficult for older followers. Award-winning comedy writer Gene Perret brings wit and wisdom for those who wish they had, and wish they still could, but discover they can¿t.
