Bücher von Pamela Druckerman

Wie fühlt es sich an, über vierzig zu sein? Was haben wir gelernt, wenn wir so alt sind? Sind wir jetzt endgültig erwachsen? Und warum hat uns niemand davor gewarnt, dass man auch an den Armen Cellulitis haben kann? In einer Mischung aus humorvoller Autobiografie und klugen Alltagsbetrachtungen widmet sich Pamela Druckerman dem entspannten Älterwerden. Die Autorin des internationalen Bestsellers »Warum französische Kinder keine Nervensägen sind« erforscht das Leben in den Vierzigern und fragt sich, ob ihr Kopf je mit ihrem Gesicht mithalten wird.

The best-selling author of BRINGING UP BB investigates life in her forties, and wonders whether her mind will ever catch up with her face.When Pamela Druckerman turns 40, waiters start calling her "e;Madame,"e; and she detects a new message in mens' gazes: I would sleep with her, but only if doing so requiredno effort whatsoever.Yet forty isn't even technically middle-aged anymore. And there are upsides: After a lifetime of being clueless, Druckerman can finally grasp the subtext of conversations, maintain (somewhat) healthy relationships and spot narcissists before they ruin her life.What are the modern forties? What do we know once we reach them? What makes someone a "e;grown-up"e; anyway? And why didn't anyone warn us that we'd get cellulite on our arms? Part frank memoir, part hilarious investigation of daily life, There Are No Grown-Ups diagnoses the in-between decade when...*;Everyone you meet looks a little bit familiar.*;You're matter-of-fact about chin hair.*;You can no longer wear anything ironically.*;There's at least one sport your doctor forbids you to play.*; You become impatient while scrolling down to your year of birth.*;Your parents have stopped trying to change you.*;You don't want to be with the cool people anymore; you want to be withyourpeople.*;You realize that everyone is winging it, some just do it more confidently.*;You know that it's ok if you don't like jazz.Internationally best-selling author andNew York Timescontributor Pamela Druckerman leads us on a quest for wisdom, self-knowledge and the right pair of pants.A witty dispatch from the front lines of the forties, THERE ARE NO GROWN-UPS is a (midlife) coming-of-age story--and a book for anyone trying to find their place in the world.
