Publisher's summary

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?

Good Book

Light hearted and fun, with good advice! M.E. Hecht was witty and clearly knew her stuff, may she rest in peace. Whoopi was funny as always.

Awesome book

Great quick read and highly informative as you age. I’m 60 and it was very gel to me. I think others in the 50ish -65ish time will find this a very valuable book. I really loved Dr ME’s humor. I wish we had more input from Whoopi, but that’s ok. I will be using some things I learned here. Great book!

Very sweet and I’m glad I read it.

Lovely to think of these 2 old broads hanging out together. Dr H shared many useful insights. It’s wonderful that they had the opportunity to write this book together.
