A funny and accessible guide to a happier life from a former ABC radio presenter who met more than his fair share of grumpy old men on talkback radio. They are the unhappy husbands, the disengaged grandfathers and the angry ‘letters to the editor’ writers.They sneer at generational change, know exactly where that bloody apostrophe should go and gather in sad groups bemoaning the modern world.They are Grumpy Old Buggers. Geoff Hutchison became determined not to turn into one himself upon retirement from a career in journalism.So he wondered: what is it about ageing that tends to have this effect on Australian men, and what can be done to arrest that development?Consulting a wide range of experts and mining his own experience and that of the other men in his life, Geoff has discovered how we can all live a happier, healthier and less grumpy life.
