Book Description

January 19, 1999
Finally, the exciting and long-awaited sequel to one of the biggest health and healing bestsellers of all time has arrived.

When Peter Kelder's Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth was released by Harbor Press in 1985, it immediately touched off an incredible sales phenomenon rivaled only by The Celestine Prophecy and Conversations with God.  In this book, readers were introduced to the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation, a series of exercises developed over centuries in the monasteries of Tibet and credited by thousands for everything from increased energy to better memory, weight loss, and just looking and feeling younger.

Almost as quickly as the books filtered across the globe, letters began to pour in to Harbor Press requesting more information on these mysterious rites. Now, more than ten years and two million books later, comes a comprehensive companion volume that addresses the unanswered questions of so many readers.

Picking up where Kelder's book left off, Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth, Book 2 provides the complete Fountain of Youth health program, with detailed information on a variety of topics discussed only fleetingly in the original bestseller: the history and origins of the Five Rites, valuable insights about how the Rites work, diet suggestions, and easy-to-follow exercises. Illustrated with fifty black-and-white photographs, this guide will help turn back the hands of time, invigorating and energizing readers' lives as never before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly positive results from the five Tibetan exercises, February 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 2 (Hardcover)
One of my hatha yoga students kindly gave me a copy of book 1 as a gift. A bit skeptical, I started to read it and was charmed by the story, intrigued as to whether the exercises would work. I gave it a try and even in the first week was amazed at the results. I am now up to doing the recommended 21 reps of each of the 5 positions. I have almost boundless energy, look 10 years younger according to my colleagues, feel healthier than I have in years, sleep more deeply at night. Without even trying to, I have lost nearly 10 pounds: the exercises seem to balance or curb your appetite. I am not as hungry, yet the smaller portions I eat seem tastier to me. My yoga students are very enthusiastic about the 5 Rites. I get daily requests for this class. I have since bought book 2 and like it even more because of all the detailed explanations contained therein. I have recommended the books to at least a dozen friends and colleagues. Even my significant other is starting to do the 5 Rites and has never felt healthier. In short, highly recommended. Inti

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Book 2 Fountain of Youth, March 20, 2009
This review is from: Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 2 (Hardcover)
The title of this book is a little misleading, as it is NOT written by the same author as the original book. The original little book by Peter Kelder is THE book to read. This second book is an interpretation of the first.It is helpful, but it is also just opinions about the first book. It says that if you buy this book you don't need to buy the first book, but I disagree. The first book is fabulous, inspiring and what is more, the exercises described are REALLY powerful. They cause the body to begin a cleansing process and to realign. The exercises are all given in the second book, but it is the style, presentation and originality of the first book that makes you DO the exercises. My advice is read the first, orginal book BEFORE you read the second one. The second one is not even necessary, but it does help on questions about diet etc. Vague sense of a publisher making more money here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tibetan rites in detail, May 18, 2008
By 
Baja Sue (New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 2 (Hardcover)
After doing the rites in the first book for about 4 weeks, I became curious enough to see what book 2 had to offer. It's a wonderful book too. Tibetan Buddhism, it's proponents from the west and Tibetan medicine have interested me for a long time. Enough to go to Nepal and experience some interesting phenomena with regard to Tibetan lamas. So I was thrilled to read some new information about the mystery and lore of Tibet. Also the various contributors to the book provide many points of view about why these rites work so well. Particularly useful was the additional information about the breathing technique while performing the rites. This has aided my practice tremendously. I am having no difficulty going into my 4th week doing 11 repetitions of each exercise in one sitting.
I have dropped some weight, at least my jeans are looser, and gained tone and endurance. For sure my metabolism has picked up. This is a good thing, as hypothyroidism is a metabolic issue that I've been dealing with for a few years.
So all in all, I would recommend this book if you are interested in the myth and mystery of Tibet, if you have read the first book, and wonder if you have mastered the breathing technique, or if you are just curious about a way to improve your health without investing in any equipment and that takes just a few minutes a day.
