Interview With Geoff Hutchison - Grumpy Old Buggers

Well known media guy, and now a newly minted Freo author, Geoff Hutchison has just seen his first book, How Not To Become A Grumpy Old Bugger published by Affirm Press, a Simon & Schuster company.

As the publisher says of the focus of Geoff’s book –

They are the unhappy husbands, the disengaged grandfathers and the angry ‘letters to the editor’ writers. They sneer at generational change, know exactly where that bloody apostrophe should go and gather in sad groups bemoaning the modern world. They are Grumpy Old Buggers.

Geoff Hutchison became determined not to turn into one himself upon retirement from a career in journalism. So he wondered: what is it about ageing that tends to have this effect on Australian men, and what can be done to arrest that development?

Consulting a wide range of experts and mining his own experience and that of the other men in his life, Geoff has discovered how we can all live a happier, healthier and less grumpy life.
