Book Description

December 26, 2006

In the tradition of YOU The Owner's Manual, The Checklist is organized as a guide to help individuals and families take the right precautions, at the right time in their lives, to avoid the most common health pitfalls and illnesses, and put them on the path to a vigorous and sound lifestyle.

Each decade in a person's life introduces new risks not seen in their previous ten years. A health plan must be tailor-made to fit a body as it matures decade to decade. Dr. Manny's friendly, easy explanations and simple maintenance breakdowns show people how to act preventively and proactively, without unnecessary fears or reliance on the abundance of outdated, counterproductive health myths. Dr. Manny's mission is to aid readers in their pursuit of living a healthy and long life, and to help close the door on future life-threatening illnesses using proven, sound medical knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated in content, yet highly readable makes The Checklist an important addition to the family library, January 8, 2007
This review is from: The Checklist: What You and Your Family Need to Know to Prevent Disease and Live a Long and Healthy Life (Hardcover)
Wading through web pages of information about health care can be cumbersome and confusing. Too often books deal with one illness or issue, but fail to offer the holistic perspective crucial to wellness. Physician visits can be necessarily brief and lead to more questions about how to prioritize follow up. Presented with the wisdom and humor which are the hallmarks of Dr. Manny, The Checklist offers a road map to health throughout the life stages. Sage, expert advice is delivered in a clear format making this not only a MUST READ, but an enjoyable and valuable MUST HAVE. As a clinician specializing in women's reproductive mental health,I especially appreciated Dr. Manny's inclusion of postpartum depression and other mental health issues across the lifespan.

This review is from: The Checklist: What You and Your Family Need to Know to Prevent Disease and Live a Long and Healthy Life (Hardcover)
Most books written by doctors are written in a language that only a doctor can understand...this book was written so that anyone can understand. I have reccommended it to all of my friends and family members. It is a must have!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, something I can understand!, January 8, 2007
By 
This review is from: The Checklist: What You and Your Family Need to Know to Prevent Disease and Live a Long and Healthy Life (Hardcover)
I have purchased many books to practice preventive health. Finally this book talks to me in a language I can understand plus it covers a million and one questions I've never been able to get an answer on. I have bought several copies to use as gifts to my friends. Easy reading is what we all want from a health oriented/informative book. Kudos to Dr. Manny.
