PREFACE

Attention All People Over 40!

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK

Regardless of your age, have you ever experienced what may
be affectionately described as “senior moments?” For exam-
ple, have you
• Checked three or four times to make sure that the same
appliance is turned off before you leave home?
• Tried to use a word in your conversation that you know
you know but cannot recall?
• Walked up and down the parking lot looking for your
car, with the grocery sacker tagging along behind?
• Forgotten someone’s name you just met, even though
you were rehearsing it while you were walking away?
• Had someone tell you that you do not correctly remem-
ber what he or she told you?
