The later years bring time, but they also bring a particular kind of noise. Most advice for this stage of life is either medical or relentlessly cheerful. This book is neither.
The news on a loop, strangers on the phone, a house full of things you no longer use. Each one wears a little at your calm.
Health, money, the children, the future. Worry often grows with age, and it tends to show up at 4 a.m.
Not the good kind. Friends move or pass on, the days lose their shape, and Sunday afternoons stretch on and on.

John Maverick is a pen name, and the portrait is an illustration. The advice draws on widely accepted public-health guidance, written plainly.
