Why Did I Come into This Room?: A Candid Conversation about Aging

Why Did I Come into This Room?Â is a funny â€œWhat to Expect When You're Expectingâ€ for the aging woman.

â€œIâ€™m too old for Snapchat, but too young for Life Alert.â€

In her most candid and revealing book yet, acclaimed broadcast journalist and Baby BoomerÂ Joan Lunden delves into the various phases of aging that leave many feelingÂ uncomfortable, confused, and on edge. In her hilarious book, Lunden takes the dull and depressing out of aging, replacing it with wit and humor. After all, laughing is better than cryingâ€”unless it makes you pee! Whether youâ€™re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or more, this book is full of helpful information to embraceâ€”or at least prepare forâ€”the inevitable.

Funny, captivating, and raw, no topic is off limits. Lunden goes where others fear to tread, openly talking about wrinkles and age spots (which Lunden insists are sunspots), expanding waistlines (no, you didnâ€™t shrink your jeans), diminished energy (my get-up-and-go got up and went), weak pelvic floors (yes, weâ€™re talking about leaking), hot flashes (they suck), disrupted sleep (the morning host is an expert on lack of sleep), changes in sex drive (oh yeah, she goes there), ageism (it exists and it pisses us off), and yes, the real reasons we suddenly find ourselves always searching for those car keys!Â Â

Through her poignant and often laugh out loud funny personal experiences, Lunden candidly shares her anxieties and breakthroughs and how sheâ€™s coping with the realities of aging. Sheâ€™s talking about the good, the bad and the ugly, elevating the conversation on topics often considered â€œtaboo.â€Â

Why Did I Come into This Room?Â also explores the science of aging, including how it impacts the body and brain, while dispelling myths and revealing useful options to stave off the aging process as long as possible.

Even more importantly, Lunden goes beyond the physical aspects of aging by closely examining the mental and emotional minefields that come with our advancing years. As she explores the value of asking ourselves important questions including, â€œAm I still relevant?â€, â€œDo I have meaningful friendships?â€, and â€œAm I leaving an impactful legacy?â€ Lunden also examines the freedom in â€œletting go,â€ the importance of managing stress, and how joy and a sense of purpose all play an impactful role in slowing the aging process.

In a society where youth is revered and aging feared,Â Why Did I Come into This Room?Â is the long-awaited tell-it-like-it-is guide for women of all ages. As Lunden says, â€œAging ainâ€™t for sissiesâ€¦you better be prepared.â€
