Description:
"Boomers yelled at lawns. Gen X shrugged. Millennials therapized. Gen Z memes. Turns out-we're all just trying to laugh our way through the madness." Diary of a Mad Boomer isn't just a memoir-it's a cross-generational roast. Gary E. Stern takes you from Cold War paranoia and draft notices to oat milk boba and doomscrolling, proving that absurdity is timeless and laughter is the only thing that still works. Whether you're a Boomer made of asbestos and bourbon or a Gen Z'er rubbernecking the wreckage, this book is for anyone willing to admit the obvious: life is messy, stupid, and occasionally hilarious. This book is a cranky, unfiltered ride through the booze-soaked '60s and the absurdities of survival in the army, told by a man too old to care what you think. Duration - 2h 57m. Author - Gary E Stern. Narrator - Gary E Stern. Published Date - Thursday, 02 January 2025. Copyright - © 2025 Gary E Stern ©.
