Acclaimed and beloved prize-winning essayist Roger Rosenblatt has commented on most of the trends and events of our time. His columns in Time magazine and his commentaries on PBS's News Hour with Jim Lehrer have made him a household word and a trusted friend of millions. With a wry sense of humor and inimitable wit, Rosenblatt offers here guidelines for aging that are both easy to understand and, more importantly, easy to implement.

More and more in the news today, we are hearing about phenomenal advances in the fight against aging. But what Rosenblatt suggests to combat age is far more valuable than any scientific breakthrough-he breaks down the hardest part of aging, the mental anguish of growing older with fifty-four gems of funny, brilliant, wise, indispensable advice.

A book to savor, a book to keep, and a book for all ages.

This little guide is intended for people who wish to age successfully, or at all. . . . One may think of this work as a how-to book, akin to many health guides published these days, whose purpose is to prolong our lives and make them richer. That is the aim of my book, too. -from the Introduction

And this is just the start of Roger Rosenblatt's charming and thought-provoking guide to surviving the episodes that shamelessly shave years off of our lives. With a wry sense of humor and peerless wit, Rules for Aging provides guidance that is, hands down, the most practical, pleasurable and, most importantly, painless advice you'll ever receive. As Rosenblatt writes, When I urge you to refrain from a certain thought or course of action, I do not mean to suggest that you are in any way wrong if you do the opposite. I mean only to say that you will suffer.

Rule #1: It doesn't matter
Whatever you think matters-doesn't. Follow this rule, and it will add decades to your life. It does not matter if you are late, or early; if you are here, or if you are there; if you said it, or did not say it; if you were clever, or if you were stupid; if you are having a bad hair day, or a no hair day; if your boss looks at you cockeyed; if your girlfriend or boyfriend looks at you cockeyed; if you don't get that promotion, or prize, or house, or if you do. It doesn't matter.

You cannot go wrong with this purchase.
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I bought this for my husband who was complaining about shoulder pain from rolling side to side nightly. He said the support is great. Quality made and comfortable, a great value for the money. Sleeps better and the company sends extra filling to adjust the thickness if you choose to.

Thank you Lord!
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White, Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I appreciate this pillow! Literally helped my neck problems. With the pillows I used before I would have neck pain and would be super uncomfortable. Even to the point I would feel better just sleeping without a pillow. No matter what pillow I used in the house my neck would be sore and would develop headaches. Ever since I bought this and started using it I haven't had any neck problems. Like none. I love how only one side is cooling so I can decided. The material is really nice and soft. It's also a good hugging pillow. It's definitely weirdly shaped but it has a reason. This thing will probably last me a long time. And I'm glad I spent my money on this!

Pillow is "just right"
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Crescent White
I have been looking for the "right" pillow for 6 years now & this is it! I like to sleep on my side but also on my back if snoring. This pillow is the perfect shape for " side-sleeping" & also comfortable for my back using my adjustable bed levels. I waited until I slept on it before ordering the pillow cased that fit the unusual shape of the pillow. Both purchases work well! Now what to do with the other 6 pillows I have tried over the years!!(

Adjustable Pillow for shoulder pain.
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I've been using this pillow about a week, and my shoulder pain has really dissipated!!!! I like that I was able to add the extra filler to personalize the pillow to fit my needs. Very good product!
