Recently, I've been very impressed with this exceptionally witty, intelligent and user-friendly book.

At a point in my own life where the cumulative effects of work-related stress, not to mention a life-long love affair with good food, have begun to show up in the state of my health, I've been primed for any credible knowledge and insight into effective countermeasures.

I started regular workouts after a hiatus of several years...that has helped a lot. Golf season returned, which is always a blessing, if you like playing in monsoon rains. Then an old and close friend, Bob Nadler, recommended I take a look at this book, of which he happens to be co-author along with a couple of experts in the fields of nutrition and life extension.

I've found a scientifically grounded "one-stop-shop" manual of useful, real-world information and guidance on the comprehensive subjects of nutrition, exercise, life extension, supplements, sexuality, immunity, and of course, the various "flavors" of stress and their effects on aging. Every aspect of the subject is mined in the book, underscored by its pervasive impact on our health and sense of well being.

Moreover, it's written in a crisp, engaging style, making a complex body of well-researched (there's an extensive bibliography) and extremely relevant facts and recommendations entertaining and easy to assimilate. The structure of the book allows you to find almost any topic with ease. The style and humor comes from Bob's unique talent as a writer.

I'm not usually in book recommendation mode, but this is a special case. I think a person of any age, let alone those of us approaching the shady side of 60, can find enormous value in this informative, absorbing read...I already have, and I urge you to consider it for yourself and the ones you love.
