A refreshingly candid and wickedly funny look at life's second half from Everybody Loves Raymond TV sitcom star and three-time Emmy Award-winning comic Brad Garrett. In this no-holds-barred book of comedic and personal essays, Brad Garrett divulges his hilarious--and irreverently honest--experiences with the many challenges and ultimately joys of middle age, as he advises us on how to best navigate the dreaded second half of life.
