Acerca de esta escucha

Discovering who you are is not just for teenagers. Midlife men must also rediscover the world around them while struggling with their own impending mortality and legacy, especially those who change careers and lifestyles. Middle-aged men like me are under siege, beset on all sides by personal ambition, internal expectations, familial pressure, disillusionment, uncertainty, and legacy. It’s a constant battle to balance the needs of the self and the needs of others and a struggle to discover which ones really take priority. Some win this battle and some tragically lose.

Curmudgeonism is a state of mind, unwavering, unapologetic, and uninterested in what people think. We are the proverbial old dog that can’t be taught new tricks because we know the old tricks are tried and true. We have firm beliefs that can’t be shaken. Free trade is good. True leaders are rare. Happiness is a luxury. Golf is a waste of time and we don’t have enough years left to be unproductive. We don’t apologize for our views because we’ve spent half a lifetime developing them. Theory and idealism sounds good in school but only until it becomes cost prohibitive and the real world determines ground truth. Curmudgeons are uncaring about what people think and have low expectations on the world because it’s done little more than disappoint us. We’re middle aged and tired of looking, acting, feeling the way people want us to, so we’re breaking out and being who we were meant to be; irascible curs who make the world a better place through brutal honesty. We see this as our duty and take it seriously. Buy the ticket. Take the ride.

The art of being a curmudgeon

We all think our twenties are going to last forever until the aches and pains of the thirties kicks in and the sheer terror of the forties stomps on our gonads. Curmudgeonism puts into words exactly what most middle aged men go through and in a hilarious way. It’s structured in a way that you can flip to any part of it and either laugh or say, “Yeah…I feel the same!” Between the Curmudgeon Maxims, Curmudgeon Soundbytes, and awesome Curmudgeon Insults, I’m not sure which part is my favorite, but they all kept me laughing and helped me understand what it’s like to be a true curmudgeon. My wife laughed a lot too.
