Neil Offen
Still Funny After All These Years
Neil Offen has been a humor columnist for four decades and in two countries.
He’s also a card-carrying member of the baby boomer generation. And now he’s making affectionate and hilarious fun of his generation’s attempts to keep up, seem younger and maybe still be around for the launch of the iPhone 211 Pro.
His new book, Building a Better Boomer, offers laugh-out-loud advice for the generation caught between ChatGPT and Betamax VHS. There’s tongue-in-cheek guidance on how boomers can better see, hear, eat, exercise, sleep, retire, and even remember better.
Building a Better Boomer is not just for those born in the forties, fifties, or sixties. It’s also for all those who have a boomer in their lives. As bestselling author Steven Petrow says, “This is a book for all boomers, and those who care for and love them."

“This is the moment when we need a book that is this funny. Building a Better Boomer never stops and never misfires.”

“Offen's sharp—and unfortunately accurate—observations will make you laugh out loud, assuming of course you can remember where you left your reading glasses. Let me suggest that the nicest thing you can give to one of our peers is this gift of laughter."

—David Fisher, New York Times bestselling author
