You are fifty, which is not sixteen, and you feel that you are old, that life is over and that all that awaits you is a journey through the desert of the mundane to the grave. The body aches, the skin loosens, the world doesn't seem like an oyster that just lets itself be sipped. In short, it is not easy to find the motivation to jump out of bed in the morning and face reality with a smile on your face. On the other hand, there are still plenty of things worth doing. They are different than when we were twenty, but they are tested by time.

They say that a new habit will take hold if you stick to it for 28 days. And so the author decided to write down 28 reasons why fifty is a good age. One for each day plus a task at the end. And by all means if on the 29th day you will be as hard-working as at the beginning. And I swear I don't!

A smart, ironic and above all funny guide to the life of a modern woman in her prime.
