When you lie about your age, the terrorists win: reflections on looking in the mirror
(Book)
Description
Stand-up comic and comedy writer Carol Leifer faced a critical dilemma and had only two options: either continue sharing her greatest childhood memory (seeing the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1966) or lie about her age. But the choice soon became clear: "I see now that when you deny your age, you deny yourself, and when you lie about your age, you become your inauthentic twin. But most important, when you lie about your age, they win. (And of course by 'they,' I mean the terrorists)." In this book, Leifer reveals all- her age, her outlook, her life philosophy- no holds barred (--book jacket)
