After reading some of the online reviews, I was a bit skeptical but had to read the book out of curiosity. I am a medical information specialist and consider myself extremely well informed. Still, Dr. Rosenfeld managed to come up with things I'd not read elsewhere and I was able to immediately put these to good use. His style is always entertaining, his knowledge of the field appears vast, and his research superior. I'll be buying several as Christmas gifts - it is that good.

Dr. Rosenfeld writes a book that we all should have in our library. Dr. Rosenfeld tackles a lot of the problems that most of us encounter in our lifetime and tells us how we could delay or even prevent them all together. There are some problems we are afraid to speak to our doctors about, Dr. Rosenfeld answers those questions as well.

This is a book I plan on having and using in my every day life. A must read.

Quoting from the 6/8/99 Seattle P-I Ann Landers column, this book "tells you the truth about aging -- the hard facts as well as the good news. ...You will be told in detail, how to accelerate your energy level, how to deal with cancer and strokes, osteoporosis and heart disease, as well as what to do about deafness and failing eyesight. This book is written in simple language and lets you know that you are the key player in the aging game." Ann Lander does not recommend books frivolously, and she says, "Run, don't walk, to your favorite [independently owned] bookstore immediately...and ask that a copy be held for you."

I thought if Ann Landers touted a book so highly in her nationally syndicated column, it should be well worth reading. It was not. Most topics are covered very superficially. Dr. Rosenfeld seems to promote pills and surgery and other expensive procedures without paying enough attention to costs and side effects.

This Doctor really know shis stuff and he is a no nonsense Doctor. I would recommend everyone read it.

Dr. Rosenfeld continues to write excellent books explaining in humorous and simple language the world of medicine. He is the epitome of good doctoring. He explains the aging process and how to maximize the later years with honesty and hope, rather than fear..

This is a wonderful book for folks who still want to live life to the fullest. I am grateful for all of the attention and praise senior citizens are receiving lately, what with a hit film like "Saving Private Ryan", a best-selling novel like "The Triumph and the Glory" and now a brilliant self-help book to read and benefit from. Thank you, I know I speak for many when I acknowledge with gratitude the attentions of some very talented writers and filmmakers.

This is a wonderful book. As a Two-Spirit Shaman and author (Chi Gung: Chinese Healing, Energy, and Natural Magick), I am always looking for new books on health and healing to not only use in my healing work with plants, animals, and people but also to help me in my own path along the Way of Beauty. Isadore's new book can really help you to learn how to live a more healthy and in-the-moment life.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a healer themselves or who is interested in learning how to stay healthy, young, and alive.

Upon the purchase of this book, I anticipated new insights and information regarding preventative anti-aging breakthroughs. I felt the title was very misleading and, therefore, disappointed in the content. Although readable, it failed to say anything "new". It amounts to your basic medical handbook and should be titled accordingly.

If you haven't been living in a cave for the past ten years you already know everything in this book. Exercise = good, high fat diet = bad, smoking causes cancer, keep active and learning as you get older. I was looking for a book that could guide me now, when I'm in my 40s, to maybe eek out another 10-15 quality years doing something that I wasn't doing already. There is nothing untrue or misleading in the book -- just nothing new.
