Susanne Fröhlich & Constanze Kleis: Älter werden ist wie jung sein, nur krasser

In the organizer's words:

Book premiere!

Accompany the successful bestselling duo on their fast-paced adventure journey through their later years

In theory, we have the most wonderful plans for the happy hour of our lives: cultivating friendships and hobbies, realizing dreams, rediscovering ourselves, the world and perhaps even love once again. In practice, it turns out that getting older is not as easy as we always think. Because suddenly there's a pensioner in our bed, we have to get by on pocket money again and not only do our chin hairs grow, but also inertia, despondency and fatalism.
The Spiegel bestselling authors Susanne Fröhlich and Constanze Kleis have a few suggestions on how to defy the impositions of getting older. All tested on themselves, of course: True to the motto: "Be stronger than your strongest excuse - small steps are better than no steps!" A book for anyone who wants to enter the ageing arena with their head held high and give the middle finger to dusty images of women in their later years.

Susanne Fröhlich is one of Germany's best-known authors. The writer and journalist also works as a presenter, since 2005 for the MDR literary program "Fröhlich lesen". Both her non-fiction books such as Fröhlich fasten and her novels, most recently Getraut, have all become bestsellers, including Moppel-Ich, which has sold over 1 million copies. Susanne Fröhlich lives near Frankfurt am Main.
Constanze Kleis lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. When she is not writing top sellers with her best friend Susanne Fröhlich, she also writes solo works such as "Das Leben ist zu kurz für Mimimi". She also works as a journalist for both daily newspapers and women's magazines. Together with Susanne Fröhlich, she was nominated for the German Book Prize.
