Synopsis

Nobody sits you down and explains it.

One day you're fine. Then you sleep badly on a Tuesday and it costs you a fortnight. A stranger calls you "sir" and means it kindly. You catch your reflection and think, for a fraction of a second, that you're looking at your father.

Richard Unthank is sixty-four. He is not a doctor, not a scientist, and not remotely interested in telling anyone how to live. What he has done is pay close attention to what has actually been happening — to him, and to the men around him — and write it down honestly.

What's inside
Twenty short chapters on the things men in their fifties and sixties notice but rarely say out loud: the body that stopped quietly correcting itself, the recovery that takes four days instead of one, the name that vanishes and returns an hour later, the particular moment you stop being looked at, the grumpiness that turns out to be low-grade pain and three years of poor sleep. Where medical understanding helps explain something, it's mentioned as lay sense-making — never as instruction.

What isn't
No programme. No supplements. No morning routine. No chapter that tells you to be grateful. This is not a self-help book and does not pretend to be one.

Buying this for someone?
If you're looking for a gift for a father, a husband, a brother or a friend who has been quietly getting on with it, this is a book that says I noticed, and you're not the only one — without saying anything he'd find embarrassing. Chapters are short enough to dip into, which is how most men will actually read it. It's the sort of thing that gets left on the arm of a chair and picked up again.

Ideal for a sixtieth birthday, a retirement, Father's Day, or the Christmas present that turns out to be the one he actually reads.

Written for men who would never buy a book like this.
