书籍简介

在 Instagram 上被称为“意外偶像”的林恩·斯莱特 (Lyn Slater) 在这本个人回忆录中，以她特有的风格、乐观、前瞻性思维和打破规则的态度来探讨如何大胆生活的问题。 任何年龄。

当 Lyn Slater 在 61 岁时开设了她的时尚博客 Accidental Icon 时，她发现追随者涌入她的帐户的不仅仅是她的一线风格。 当林炫耀自己的白发、皱纹和高度的自我接纳时，他们在她身上发现了老年生活的另一种模式：一个反抗刻板印象、拒绝成为隐形人的人，并表明所有女性都有机会参与其中并参与其中。 在人生的任何阶段都要承担重大风险。 青年时期并不是我们可以进行实验的时期。

《如何变老》讲述了林恩六十多岁的十年故事，这是偶然的偶像时而迷人、时而动荡的十年。 这本回忆录讲述的是充满希望和面向未来的重塑过程。 它向读者表明，虽然你无法控制一切，但你可以控制的是你对自己年龄的思考方式，以及你对身心发生变化的创造性反应方式。 林恩并没有试图将年轻和美丽的标准作为衡量成功老龄化的标准，而是提倡一种更具包容性和赋权的标准来评判我们年老的自己。

在这本改变范式的回忆录中，林恩举例说明，尽管面临着独特的挑战，但变老就像生命中的任何新开始一样，可以成为人生所有阶段的美好和活力，充满叛逆和重塑、联系和创造力。

A personal memoir in which Lyn Slater, known on Instagram as “Accidental Icon,”brings her characteristic style, optimism, forward-thinking, and rules-are-meant-to-be-broken attitude to the question of how to live boldly at any age.

When Lyn Slater started her fashion blog, Accidental Icon, at age sixty-one, she discovered that followers were flocking to her account for more than just her A-list style. As Lyn flaunted gray hair, wrinkles, and a megadose of self-acceptance, they found in her an alternative model of older life: someone who defied the stereotypes, refused to become invisible, and showed that all women have the opportunity to be relevant and take major risks at any stage of their life. Youth is not the time we can be experimental.

How to Be Old tells the ten-year story of Lyn’s sixties, the sometimes-glamorous, sometimes-turbulent decade of Accidental Icon. This memoir is about the hopeful and future-oriented process of reinvention. It shows readers that while you can’t control everything, what you can control is the way you think about your age and the creative ways you respond to the changes in your mind and body as they happen. Rather than trying to meet standards of youth and beauty as a measure of successful aging, Lyn promotes a more inclusive and empowering standard to judge our older selves by.

In this paradigm-shifting memoir, Lyn exemplifies that even with its unique challenges, being old is just like any new beginning in your life and can be the good and invigorating of all of life’s phases, full of rebellion and reinvention, connection and creativity.
