The U@50 challenge is a contest AARP sponsored where people between 18 and 30 submitted videos on what they expected their lives to be like at 50. People submitted videos to their YouTube contest channel and the top 5 videos chosen by AARP judges would win cash prizes including $5,000 for first place.

This one won second place.

It contains some interesting wordplay, with a message.

What a phenomenal book! It is certainly one of my all-time favorites.

I liked that book, too. I've always wanted to carve a block like the one on the cover - maybe with my initials instead of EGB.
