Author Talk with Geoff Hutchison
Join Geoff Hutchison as he discusses his new book, "How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger" in this special Q&A event with Lucie Bell.
About How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger
Geoff Hutchison reckons he met quite a few grumps during his time as an ABC broadcaster, and upon retirement he was determined not to turn into one. His new book, How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger, ponders why so many blokes seem to struggle as they get older and offers some gentle and not so gentle advice on how they might lead a happier and more fulfilling life in a fast changing world.
In How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger, Geoff not only mines his own life experiences but also consults a wide range of experts and well-known personalities, including bestselling author Maggie Dent, philosopher Hugh Mackay and Fremantle Dockers captain Alex Pearce.
From men’s mental, sexual and physical health - to finances and plans for retirement - social media and influencers, loneliness, regrets and yes - even death, Geoff leaves no stone unturned in his quest to help blokes find contentment.
There are also quite a lot of jokes about things that make us grumpy.
About Geoff Hutchison
In 2022, Geoff Hutchison hung up his headphones after a long career as an ABC broadcaster. Before that, he was a journalist on the 7.30 Report and a one-time Foreign Correspondent. Geoff is intensely curious and reckons he has seldom worked a day in his life.
It has been one of great privilege: talking to people, witnessing extraordinary moments and coming to the understanding that the things we share are far more significant than those that divide us.
