"I have lost 50 pounds over the last nine months by eating less, moving more, and changing the way I think. I am 62 and look better and feel better and have more energy than in the last 15 years."—Ron T.
" I read the wisdom put forth by Chris and Harry . . . [and] my next physical blew my doctor away. I am 74 and in better shape than when I was 50."—Jack S.
"Not a week goes by that I do not utter a silent prayer of thanks that Younger Next Year came into my life. You guys are saving the world one body at a time."—T. G.
Announcing the paperback edition of Younger Next Year, the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller, co-written by one of the country’s most prominent internists, Dr. Henry "Harry" Lodge, and his star patient, the 73-year-old Chris Crowley. These are the books that show us how to turn back our biological clocks—how to put off 70% of the normal problems of aging (weakness, sore joints, bad balance) and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. The key to the program is found in Harry's Rules: Exercise six days a week. Don't eat crap. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules all together, based on the latest findings in cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and experimental psychology. Dr. Lodge explains how and why they work—and Chris Crowley, who is living proof of their effectiveness (skiing better today, for example, than he did twenty years ago), gives the just-as-essential motivation. Both men and women can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, then continue to live with newfound vitality and pleasure deep into our 80s and beyond.

Summary: Good and old, old and good
Comment: Light-hearted erudition from an old guy whose doctor, a gerontologist, advises him on how to not only age gracefully, but to retain the vigor of youth until past four score.
If you are reluctant to exercise, then read this book at your peril. They make such a strong case for exercise that you will either start exercising way more than most health books recommend or you will feel acute and terminal guilt.
The suggestions on diet and lifestyle are usually standard, but the emphasis on community and relationships are stronger than I usually find. It is the section on exercise that sets this presentation apart.

Summary: Insirational Get Fit Book
Comment: This is an easy to read get fit book geared to men over 50. Written in a conversational style but with plenty of hard science to back it up, the book informs and motivates. The program is easy to do so it's hard to find excuses for not feeling better next year. Who wouldn't want that?
Mark S. Weinstein, DMD

Summary: Excellent overview for healthy living...I bought it for my Dad
Comment: I bought this for my 73 year old father. He really enjoyed it and it has helped him make some needed dietary and exercise changes in his life. I have recommended this to other friends and family.
It is clearly written with a striaght-forward style. It is great for someone who hasn't had a lot of nutrition and exercise guidance over the years.
My father understand mechanics, and the descripotions of the heart's function was perfect for him.
I highly recommend this for the men in your life. I purcashed 3 books and the CD as gifts.

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: I love this book. It provides motivation and acts as a reference. Chris Crowley is funny, sincere, and pushy (in a good way), while Henry Lodge provides insight into the mechanisms of how our bodies work; and you don't have to be 50 years old to read it. Actually, you shouldn't wait until you're 50. The longer you delay in understanding how your body works and making these life changes, the more critical it is when you finally do.

Summary: Excellent book that changed my life.
Comment: This book is written by a doctor and lawyer but is one of the best books I have seen written on the anti-aging subject. Not too technical yet just enough facts to know where their basis lies. Buy the hardback book because the paperback book came apart before you get to the end. I had to replace it twice. It was interesting enough that even after I had read the paperback and had to return it because of the loose pages, I still bought the hardback so I could re-read and use as a reference.
