Written by renowned surgeon and expert on the art of aging, Dr. M.E. Hecht, with her friend Whoopi Goldberg lending her unique point of view, Two Old Broads is laugh out loud funny and?tells it like it is for all of us who left middle age in the dust and want to be present, positive, and as extraordinary as ever in our golden years.

Whoopi joins Dr. Hecht in a lively conversation about growing older with no apologies. Dr. Hecht, who passed away a few short months prior to publication, shares her 93 years of wisdom with Whoopi and their fellow “broads.” Together, these two kindred spirits will help you:

  • stay active physically and mentally
  • make finalizing your will more rewarding than it sounds
  • navigate tricky subjects, such as whether you need a home aide
  • win friends and influence people or take a nap, depending on the day
  • discover joy in relationships even when your excretions outweigh your secretions
  • get up financially, physically, and emotionally after a fall
  • keep a sense of humor about getting older (of course!)

Imminently practical and?rooted firmly in the adage that getting older is not for sissies, Two Old Broads is the aging book for the ages. You've survived the past; why not embrace the present and prepare for the future so you thrive and find more time to laugh along the way?

What the critics say

'A humorous guide to aging.'
'A fun, often sassy reminder that no one is just a number.'
'As I refer to myself as World's Oldest Living Teenager, Two Old Broads from Dr. M.E. Hecht and Whoopi Goldberg speak of absolute delight to me. Sage, witty, informative -- and wonderful. This book needs to be read by any woman who believes age doesn't matter unless you're a piece of cheese.'
'Two genial, upbeat guides for life's later chapters.'

This book reminded me of the sweet rite of passage booklets I received in my preteens preparing young girls for puberty: “Now You Are 10” and “You’re a Young Lady Now”. How sweet the passage of time, growing to this age, and still being guided by wiser women elders. With the deluge of social media encouraging us (women only) to declare our age, Dr. M.E.’s railing against “It’s only a number” and that “you are not a number”, was a great insight that I will continue to share and defend.

This listening was interesting and yet in-your-face inspiring. I couldn’t say it was hilarious, not to the point of a comedy production. I’m in my 60s now, so I understand what both ladies were talking about when age is the factor to the cause. I do recommend to all ladies listen or read it for some points they were offering as information.
