Book excerpt: Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior now asks: what are the effects of children on their parents? In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear. Recruiting from a wide variety of sources—in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology—she dissects both the timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are brand new, and then brings her research to life in the homes of ordinary parents around the country. The result is an unforgettable series of family portraits, starting with parents of young children and progressing to parents of teens. Through lively and accessible storytelling, Senior follows these mothers and fathers as they wrestle with some of parenthood's deepest vexations—and luxuriate in some of its finest rewards. Meticulously researched yet imbued with emotional intelligence, All Joy and No Fun makes us reconsider some of our culture's most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, the book is original and essential reading for mothers and fathers of today—and tomorrow.

Everyone has a story, and that story is best told by the person it is about. To retain the vital information, the story should be written or in some form recorded so as to save the story undisturbed. Sometimes it is difficult to remember things, especially after a certain age; that's why one of the best features of Autobiography Writing for Seniors is the more than twenty-five memory joggers that are included to help stir up memories of bygone days. In addition, there are sensory associations. These sensory associations use the senses of smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing to stir memories and unlock the brain. Just in case you have some questions about how and where to begin your autobiography, we have some tips for you. Autobiography Writing for Seniors basically walks you through the process. Best of all, writing your autobiography using Autobiography Writing for Seniors is foolproof; you can't fail. You really don't have to be a senior citizen to benefit. Autobiography Writing for Seniors is an excellent resource for students who are assigned to write their memoirs or autobiographies, or for adults of any age who are thinking of writing their autobiography. Using Autobiography Writing for Seniors helps you reconnect to the past, recover and repair relationships, and create new friendships.
