I bought this book in March 2010 with little hope that it may possibly help me to add some height. Guys, this is the real thing! I've read this book 3 times over, as not everything is easy to remember at once, and still sometimes going back to the book for reference. Not that I'm really enjoying to read books about health, it's just this book really gave me exactly what I needed - height. Yep, I will be 26 next month, had little hope on gaining anything at my age, but for the last 8 months of working with guidance from the book, I grew over 2.5 inches so far, and think have more to go!
Before getting hooked with this book I researched a lot on the internet, and very familiar with what's available out there. I can say that generally speaking, a lot of principals shown in this book have some similarities to what I found on some sites. The big difference for me was that all I could find on internet was just general ideas on what may help, some of those ideas are contradictory. This book not only laid down all principals of how I can increase height the most, but in very fine detail it explained how to implement everything. I simply did not have to search for clues anymore, got all the info I needed in one place. Now, it's like a bible of health for me.
The way the book is written can possibly be better, as several things were not completely clear to me from the first time I read it, but reading it again clarified everything. The book is easy to read (except some sections where you have to concentrate to understand it fully). Hey, it worked for me, that's what counts. I'm engaged to a girl who is of the same height as me right now, but last year I was much shorter than her. It feels great!
Yes, I've read more interesting books (even though lots of interesting things I discovered here too), but this book helped me more than any other book I've ever read. Get the book, you won't regret it.

She was not growing at all for over a year. After starting to follow mr Grand's program this February, she started to pick-up pretty fast. This is a genuine book, definitely worth buying.

Hi, I'm a 23 year old girl from Memphis TN. Grew almost 3 inches since I got the book last August. Gave the book to my boyfriend last month. He didn't know I followed some program to grow. I didn't see any results with him yet but it's too early to tell I guess. It worked for me great.

I found Growing Taller Secrets to be a very informative book and useful in its applications to everyday life. The book has helped me not only in addressing growth problems but has given me a variety of data pertaining to leading a healthful and fulfilling lifestyle. This book is not just about how to grow taller but about how to instill habits of good health in children and adults. It's a practical book, applicable to people of all ages. As well, it contains a slew of interesting and helpful information on diverse topics ranging from nutrition and hormones to reducing toxins in water and much more. I highly recommend it.

I bought this book for my son, but read it first and glad I did. In my opinion this book is written not only for young people but probably even more for parents.
I thought the book will be little too complicated for my 11 y/o son, but he finished it in a week, and actually starting to apply what he learned, and I'm very glad he does.
It's an invaluable source of information every parent and child must have, not only those who want to grow taller. The author opened my eyes on many subjects I never knew existed. Some things explained there are even shocking, they seem true, but I never heard or even thought of anything like that, so I'm not sure if I should believe everything. I'm still planning to research some of his statements out of curiosity.
On the negative side, I think some subjects are explained in more detail than I probably needed to know.
Overall, a good book, I recommend it.
I bought this book from the publisher, but I think ordering from Amazon will be a faster delivery.

from the beginning of the book each chapter keeps saying: don't skip me, don't skip me, I am very important. For the author knows that if the reader skips these common-sense type of chapters (for example, talking about water, salt, sunlight), then people will find subsequent chapters to be even less appealing to read (exercise, diet stuff).

The author says following his method one can grow 2-5 inches. How can he know that? did he really find someone who followed such suggestion and gathered statistics from these people?

drink enough water, has good sun exposure, eat healthy food, sleep enough.
relax and stretch before you go to sleep, do morning and evening exercise, swim and basket ball helps you grow taller. Jumping is good.

That is the summary of the book. Anything interesting or you don't already know?

The other secret from the author is that you always talk to yourself saying: I want to grow taller, what I am doing now makes me grow taller. That might be effective, and in any way, can not do any harm. But can it really make any difference?

Don't buy it. Reading from internet is more helpful than this book.

If you want your baby to grow taller, "how to make your baby to be physically superb" has more practical info.

This book was a birthday gift from my sister. When I got the book and glimpsed over, I thought it's just a bit too complicated for me. Only after fully reading it, I realized it was not that bad, it was an easy read for me, and what's most important I knew what to do to keep me growing. I've been following this book for over 5 months now. I'm 19 years old and gained about 2" already. Not bad at all. I feel great difference, especially with girls. There are some things in the book that I have to go back to sometimes as a reference, especially when I want to eat something new, I check with the book first. One little complaint though - I emailed the author with a small question, and got the answer only 8 days later, but the answer was helpful. If you gona buy this book, make sure you read the book carefully, as there are tons of important things we should know all over the book. I strongly recommend it.

When I got this book and started reading it, I realized that FINALLY I've got what I needed. This book changed everything about how I take care of myself, and it has made a real difference in the way I look and feel. Most importantly, after about 3 months, I'm already about two inches taller, and as a bonus - lost 7 lb (I'm slightly overweight).

The pros:
- Most subjects in the book are well explained, giving me full understanding of why I should do each particular thing.
- The book has wealth of information that I think anybody should know, not only those who need to grow.
- The book gives good references and explanations that made me the believer in my success.
- Step-by-step instructions on what to do, and suggestions on what not to do.
- Very motivational.
- Easy to read


The cons:
- Some of reference links to the website are not working, even though they are probably not that important
- Promised forum for readers is not yet working
- Some info in the book is not for me, such as how to take care of newborn so they could grow taller in later years, and healthier (well, I might need that when I will have kids).
- Even though I understood everything from my first read, there was a little bit too much info for me, so I often go back to the book as the reference. I guess it's not such a bad thing. I'm planning to use this book for refference for many years to come.

Overall, awesome book, one of the best gifts you can give yourself or your friends!

My impression is that the writer was trying to make the book as big as possible ,very thick papers, useless long explanations and subjects and big font.

even that maybe 1 or 2 subjects i liked from the whole book, the explanations were very shallow and almost useless.

I cant understand how reading this book made the reviewers grow a few inches in a few months !

the reviews mislead me, even 10$ is too much for such book

Well written tutorial on how to grow taller. After fully reading it, I'm under impression of full understanding of the subject and what to do. Now I hope my new knowledge will work for me greatly, and have a feeling - it will.
