So many of my patient's forget that you have to feel good to look good.
This book helps to show you how to do both and is a very fun read, and that comes from a physician who sees complications and disorders of the mind and body every day.
May take away some of my business... but it's worth it to me if folks finally get the message that beauty is not skin deep. Of course looking good does help the psyche as well... hey, maybe there really is a beauty-brain loop here! WELL DONE!

I have been buying this book for friends and sending a note suggesting that they read it with their young daughters. It's an energizing take on beauty's ability to radiate from the inside -- with a refreshingly honest allowance for the fact that girls and women want to look as good as the advertisements that surround them. Unlike the ads though, this book's formula for beauty is a true, realistic formula for success. The values these two doctors prescribe will enhance any girl's self-esteem and teach them how to develop their own, attainable definition of what it means to be beautiful.

I found this book thoroughly entertaining and informative. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is not geared solely to women who read fashion magazines. It has great appeal even for those of us who trip in high heeled shoes and own only one purse. It is filled with excellent practical tips and is written in such a witty, easy to read manner that it reads like a novel. It is contagious. I hope the authors write more books!

The Beauty Prescription is an extraordinary book! While it does a remarkable job explaining how to enhance your outer beauty, it is unique on its focus on cultivating the inner beauty waiting to be released in us all. Written by a renowned psychiatrist and a nationally recognized dermatologist, this book is a must read for those who want to maximize their beauty inside and out. I loved this book and enthusiastically recommend it to all of my friends.

When I first picked up the book I figured that I would thumb through it, read the sections that appealed to me, and forget the rest. I started at the beginning and read it all the way through. The stories were captivating and the ingredient information was especially helpful. The premise of the book is new and refreshing. This book made me feel more optimistic and motivated about myself and my direction in life. It is wonderful to acknowledge how we are all beautiful in our own way.

I am looking for information that can do some positive change for me, not some dry words that mean nothing and when you follow the advice you get no results. I was disappointed after reading and using the advice in this book. There might be only 5% of information in this work that made any sense to me at all.

Beauty...the real meaning
Why does one person find you attractive and find you even more attractive the more he knows you?
Beauty is both interior and exterior...both are important and serve a unique purpose.
How do you become more beautiful....truly beautiful?
...these authors make good sense and give good ideas in practical ways that anyone can use.
...a great feel-good book to be read more than once.

I bought this on my Kindle, I knew it would be good from reading the sample. It goes beyond the basic advice and gives new ideas, which I find refreshing, Runs the gamet from internal to external beauty and is realistic. i love it!

The phrase "Beauty is more than skin deep" takes a whole new meaning. Eva Ritvo, a South Beach psychiatrist and Debra Luftman, a Beverly Hills dermatologist write a new prescription to beauty in The Beauty Prescription.
Their holostic approach to a beautiful you through the Beauty-Brain loop will give women a novel avenue to discover the most beautiful "you" possible. Do not forget to bring your beauty buddies along for this adventure.

I don't spend a lot of time on these issues, as I have my hands full managing kids, household, career, marriage - I purchased this book at the recommendation of a friend who had found it very valuable, and whose opinion I find trustworthy - I'm so pleased and grateful to have read it, which I did cover to cover - I found the authors engaging, candid, genuine, and their book informative, accessible and inspiring - most importantly, I found the book credible and feel the authors really know of what they speak - the book is informed by their life experiences as wives, mothers, physicians and friends and I found so many of their messages uplifting. A book I will be recommending and sharing with my community of friends. Job well done, and a great service to women everywhere, Debra and Eva!!!
