SYNOPSIS: Many doctors scoff at the suggestion of male-menopause because there are no obvious physical symptoms over and above those of the natural ageing process, but, nevertheless, there is increasing evidence from therapists, sociologists and psychologists that it does exist and that eight men out of ten are likely to suffer this mid-life crisis at about the age of forty. What is it? The first symptoms are psychological: feelings of inadequacy, sense of failure and frustration with the pattern of life. Many men react by trying to compensate with sex, drink or drugs and soon the physical effects start to appear--problems with sleep, fatigue, irritability, frustration--and hangovers are worse and last longer. Receding hair and thickening waistlines arrive to compound the problem and increase the feelings of depression and failure. It's a serious problem but in this light-hearted, authoritative guide the author shows how to combat this dreadful erosion--how to improve looks, health, fitness and grooming and win this battle for survival with ego intact and optimism for the future. With humour and common-sense, How to Survive the Male-Menopause provides a cure for the malady and the key to a fresh start over forty. Geoffrey Aquilina Ross is a freelance author and journalist who worked as a feature writer on male fashion and grooming for the Evening Standard for many years. He is a regular contributor to leading magazines and is London editor of the international magazine L'Uomo Vogue (Italy). Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library. Seller Inventory # 004402
