Imagine standing in a child's room at your mid-point of life, staring into a mirror of truth and realising that the child you last saw through that looking glass now has thinning hair, bulging love handles, and an aching back. You may be halfway through life, but are you half-through living?Robin T.W. Yuan attacks mid-life and its fears with vigour, humour, and truth in a book of insightful and entertaining vignettes about foggy memory, failing vision, fading dreams, and an ageing physique. Sometimes sweet, sometimes poignant, occasionally biting, but always truthful, "Cheer Up ...You're Only Half Dead" is written with the eyes of a child, the mind of a philosopher, the artistry of a plastic surgeon, the grace of an accomplished violinist, and the insight of an enlightened middle-ager. Readers young, old, and in-between will nod with understanding and laugh with familiarity, while being encouraged to squeeze all they can out of life.
