Rating:  - Interesting and Educational
I learned more about my body in this book than I ever learned in school. Maybe thats because it was so well put together. I loved the illustrations. I would suggest that everyone read this, whether they are trying to look younger or not (thats why I bought it). It helped me realize that its really about feeling good. When you know how your body works, you can figure alot of the other stuff out for yourself. it just makes sense. Highly recommended for every coffee table.
Rating: - Outstanding and easy to read
Well-written, easy-to-follow guide to maintaining health for the rest of your life. One of the best books on the subject I've seen. For anyone looking for a guide to mind-body and self-healing check out "THINKING YOUR WAY TO BETTER HEALTH by Dr. Andrew Goliszek," which is an excellent book on how to use the brain to cure disease.

The authors have done a wonderful job of presenting much of the current research relating to aging and longevity. They also provide a practical fourteen day plan to get you off to a good start. The key message of the book is that there are concrete steps we can take to enhance our chances of healthy aging! They describe fourteen "major agers" and what to do about them. They even put telomeres and mitochondria in laymen's language. Interestingly, a strong predictor of aging is a person's perception of his or her own health. Perhaps thinking you have a long time to live causes you to live healthier? So what other factors enable you to get and stay young: good emotions, mental health, hygiene, exercise, eating habits, and genetics. You should also walk a half hour a day, avoid accidents, get enough sleep, have a toxin-free environment, and find ways to relieve stress (yoga and meditation). This is a great book in a wonderful and helpful series. I recommend it along with THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams, and The 2007 Second Expert Report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective.

A book filled with some good information on the principles of aging, longevity and how to stay young. I liked the book but felt it fell a bit short on the importance of the mind-body connection though it did mention emotional and mental health as important factors. Read this book with 2 others that I think will complement this and add the missing part of the puzzle in more detail: happiness as life's greatest way to stay young. My husband and I have read both and loved them: Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook andWhy Men Die Before Women and How to Prevent It-also writtenby a doctor.

O.K.
Here we are again, another GREAT read by two of the best Doctors in their class. If you want many of the facts in a format that makes sense of it all, then this book is for you. It could very well be the book that adds a few more healthy years to your life. Now that's a big deal in my point of view.
Just think, we just might spend ALL our kids inheritance with the extra time we get on this old planet! Now that is a concept worth thinking about--->
