I was disappointed in this book. The material really isn't anything new.
The book's lay-out is poorly designed...huge quotes from professionals in the center of pages. I assume this is to make-up for lack of content. The author's personal stories and experiences are funny, but I wasn't expecting a mini-auto biography. If you absolutely know nothing about making healthy choices (don't smoke, avoid over-exposure to sun) and need the very basic tricks to look and remain feeling a bit younger, then this is the book for you. If you need something more substantial I think Christopher Hopkin's book, Staging Your Come Back, is far more "to the point" and better written. As for anti-aging health tips, you can easily find the ones listed in Aging Backwards on-line for free. Seriously, there are more informative books available.
