THE BETTER HALF

Sample Translations

The second half of your life will be better than you think!


When we reach the halfway point in our lives, many sometimes start feeling tired and listless. Stress seems to be needling us from all sides, with our jobs, our kids and even our parents all taking their toll. Meanwhile, the first irrevocable signs of ageing start to mar our bodies. But is it all just downhill from 40? Emphatically not, say Eckart von Hirschhausen and Tobias Esch, two doctors who are convinced that the opposite is true!


Most people feel better about themselves in the second half of their lives, they argue. This book records an inspiring dialogue between two physicians that documents their search for the kind of happiness that grows with experience, maturity and wisdom. Along the way they talk about new role models, discuss the latest scientific thinking while linking back to their own (ample) life experience. The result is nothing less than a little miracle: readers of this book will start looking forward to getting older!
