Non-Fiction Memoir
Short of spending every waking hour engaged in anti-aging
treatments, is there anything the average woman can do to
shave even a few months from her appearance? Do any of the
miracle creams, procedures, or magic potions actually make a
person look more youthful? Does a woman have to worry about
her nasolabial folds if she doesn't even know where they're
located on her body? Veteran journalist Beth Teitell aims to
find the answers to these questions and many more in her
hilarious travels looking for the elusive elixir of youth. If you feel bad about your neck (or any other body part), if
the idea of Botox-filled syringes fills you with horror, if
you don't want to empty your wallet to pay for $475 serums
that promise to cheer up aging skin or the hourly cost of a
facial-fitness coach, or if you don't believe the claims of
antiaging gummy bears or age-defying bottled water, then
Drinking Problems at the Fountain of Youth is the book for
you. There's not a woman in America who won't see herself in
Teitell's struggles or come away feeling that the enormous
amount of energy, time, and money we spend trying to restore
our bodies to the way they were when we were twenty could be
better spent elsewhere. With honesty, outrage, and wit, Teitell goes deep into the
youth-at-any-cost culture and takes it apart from the inside
out. And then she reassures us that there is hope—there are
things we can do to look and feel younger, and ways we can
learn to stop worrying about looking older. Drinking Problems at the Fountain of Youth is for every
woman who isn't as young as she used to be—a book of wisdom
and advice, and a laugh-out-loud look at our age-obsessed
culture.
