This books pictures are very beautiful, but the information we already know about diet and exercise. This book is nice to look at but highly priced.

This book would never have made it to press had it not been for the fact that India Hicks is the granddaughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten and 2nd cousin to Prince Charles. Can we talk? The book is pure drivel. All of the information contained in this airy-fairy, pseudo-aristocratic, jet-setty, new-agey book has been written about for years. Such pearls of wisdom as: Get enough sleep. Drink lots of water. Please, spare me. While this could have been a classy book, naked photos of India Hicks, made it lose my vote. I guess I'm an old "prude", but if you are connected to the Royal family, keep your clothes on.

Customer Review......Susie from Connecticut says..
This book is truly an escape for many of us that do not take the time to grasp the natural beauty in our lives and embrace it .The humor, the art direction and the organic quality of this book reflect beautifully thoughout the pages.
A wonderful addition to anyone's library.

This book is written in a lovely way and is so refreshing. The photos of the people living on this Island are so beautiful and natural. Good recipes for hot days are included. Recommended for lovers of the simple, natural way.

This book caught my attention when I first saw it just glancingly
while walking pass the New Arrival section in a library. It was
a spontaneous purchase and I was not disappointed. As an artist
I have an internal vision to produce works of Light and Beauty.
This book could be refered to as its Vision Statement. Everything
about it is an expression of the things needed in a world growing
ever darker. If you need to revitalize your senses this is a book
that speaks to health, beauty, the Sea and the wonder of Island Life that's breath-taking . . .
and above all-else it is a song of Hope.

A few of the photographs are disappointing, but otherwise this is an excellent book.
