A Very British Midlife Crisis

After coming perilously close to blowing his life savings on a convertible he can't afford, Rob Temple shares his tragic journey through the absurd impulses, bold reinventions, and utter cringe of the midlife crisis - a wild ride we all face if we're lucky enough to keep on aging.





Are you suddenly training for an ultramarathon despite your lower back pain, asking the hairdresser for a mohawk regardless of going very thin on the top, or planning your first tattoo saying 'no regrets' even though you in fact have about forty years of regrets? Then this book is for you.
