Fighting the Effects of Gravity
A Bittersweet Journey Into Middle Life
by James Robinson Jr.
About the Book
James Robinson, Jr. had it all: three beautiful children, a loving wife, a new home, a good job. But at age 36, the bottom would literally fall out of his life. He would watch his once firm deriere fall overnight never to rise again--succumbing to the evil forces of gravity. Fighting the Effects of Gravity is a humorous, midlife, memoir full of anecdotes and life lessons. You'll find yourself laughing out loud at the author's experiences and how much they relate to your own.
Life is short; don't let gravity get you down.

A fun weekend read
A good book to unwind with after a long week. The author's humor makes it an easy and enjoyable way to take your mind off work.
Laugh-out-loud glance at middle age
I recommend Fighting the Effects of Gravity for readers of any age who want a laugh-out-loud glance at middle age. For some, it will be a glimpse at their near future and for others, it will be a stroll down memory lane. And for those currently living through mid-life, you'll find a shoulder to lean on. The author reminds us that growing older is "all in how you look at it" while conveying the message that people who plan now, on living, loving, and being active past the age of sixty, will probably live far beyond that age.
A touching and enjoyable read!
This book felt honest and relatable, capturing the humor, challenges, and reflections that come with middle life. The writing is both lighthearted and thoughtful, making me smile at times and reflect deeply at others. It’s a bittersweet reminder that aging is not just about what we lose, but also about what we gain in perspective and wisdom.
