Imagine standing in a child's room at your mid-point of life, staring into a mirror of truth and realising that the child you last saw through that looking glass now has thinning hair, bulging love handles, and an aching back. You may be halfway through life, but are you half-through living?Robin T.W. Yuan attacks mid-life and its fears with vigour, humour, and truth in a book of insightful and entertaining vignettes about foggy memory, failing vision, fading dreams, and an ageing physique. Sometimes sweet, sometimes poignant, occasionally biting, but always truthful, "Cheer Up ...You're Only Half Dead" is written with the eyes of a child, the mind of a philosopher, the artistry of a plastic surgeon, the grace of an accomplished violinist, and the insight of an enlightened middle-ager. Readers young, old, and in-between will nod with understanding and laugh with familiarity, while being encouraged to squeeze all they can out of life.
Imagine standing in a child's room at your mid-point of life, staring into a mirror of truth, and realizing that the child you last saw in that looking glass now has thinning hair, bulging love handles, and an aching back. You may be halfway through life, but are you half-through living? Robin T.W. Yuan, M.D., attacks mid-life and its fears with vigor, humor, and truth in a book of insightful and entertaining vignettes about foggy memory, failing vision, fading dreams, and a sagging physique: a gentle, animal-loving boy becomes a middle-aged ant killer; a once avid and aggressive baseball player turns into a recreational softballer cautious about sliding into home plate; an aging uncle longs to recapture lost innocence through the eyes of his two-year-old nephew.
