<b>From one of the most celebrated and beloved comedians and actors of our time, George Lopez, comes this hilarious, touching, and often wacky chronicle of life after fifty.</b><br> <br>George Lopez just hit the half-century mark <i>and </i>the reset button on his life. Newly single and ready to embrace life, George was excited to turn fifty. It would be a welcome new phase in his life, a chance to say goodbye to a decade that included a kidney transplant and a divorce. But when he looked around a room full of his childhood friends, all gathered to celebrate his birthday, many now bald or overweight, it suddenly hit him that he was old.<br> <br>What happened? And more importantly, what was <i>he</i> going to do about it? George learns the hard way that when you turn 50, everything changes. You pull a muscle in your sleep. You avoid mirrors at all costs, and always, <i>always</i> wear a robe. You have to schedule an appointment to have sex. You have to dye your hair and buy a bathtub with a door.<br> <br>As George learns to embrace life after fifty, he invites readers into his world, sharing the ups and downs of getting older - from his relationship with a much younger woman to a bizarre session with a pet psychic, to a trip behind-the-scenes at his tumultuous two years at <i>Lopez Tonight</i>, to an intimate look at his sacred ground, the golf course - and, for the first time, he reveals in moving detail, the story of the battle for his life against kidney disease. <br> <br><i>I'm Not Gonna Lie</i> will make you laugh at yourself, cry about yourself, and look at turning fifty in a way you never would've imagined - through the eyes of George Lopez.
