FROM NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR DR. MARK RUTLAND

Keep On Keeping On: How to Die Young…as Old as Possible

An Unforgettable Journey Through the Joys and Laughs of Growing Older!


Dr. Mark Rutland’s new book is a laugh-out-loud handbook embracing the adventure of aging with humor and heart. Dr. Rutland describes this book as a comedic anthem, a sweet celebrational rage against what Dylan Thomas called “the dying of the light.”


In a world where the challenges of aging loom large, Keep On Keeping On by Mark Rutland offers a laugh-out-loud handbook on how to embrace perpetual youth. This book is not just an ode but a comedic anthem to the sublime revolt against the encroaching darkness, a celebration of the sweet rage that defies the dying of the light. It is for those who see that the good night is just around the bend. It is a literary companion for those who understand that the dying of the light is not a poignant literary device but a day-to-day reality. The loss of the beloved delusion is presented with comedic flair, offering a severe dose of reality that is not only relatable but, with Rutland’s comedic touch, surprisingly uplifting.
