Savvy Over 60™
Practical guides for curious, capable adults
The world keeps introducing things nobody asked to have explained. Savvy Over 60 is a series of plain-English guides by Lynn Sherwood for people who would like to understand those things without being talked down to, sold to, or handed a 400-page manual written for someone else.
Every book in the series follows the same rhythm: the concept in plain English, a story about Jim and Judy that shows what it looks like in an ordinary life, and a small exercise you can try yourself.
No coding. No jargon. No assumption that you already know the vocabulary. And never any suggestion that you have to like a thing in order to understand it.
