5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic realistic summary of what it takes to make 100., November 13, 1998
By twoltz@bcm.tmc.edu or tomwoltz @www.hotmail.com (Texas Medical Center,Houston, Tx, USA) - See all my reviews
As one who just turned 50 in 1997, this book only confirmed and summarized the correct approach and process of how one could live to be 100. I will try to put into place these techniques in my own life (those not already in place) to reach this goal. Being athletic and strong willed, I believe I will make it. An excellent book that everyone should try to follow!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book that will change your thinking on aging!, November 8, 1997
By A Customer
This is a fantastic book that will show you how you can make a difference in the way you decide to age. Diet, Attitude, Renewal, and Exercise...are part of the DARE formula that you can control to have a more fulfilling life. For all of the "aging baby boommers" turning 50, life is just beginning!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Grandfather is doing his job, October 2, 2004
By E. Bortz "E" (California) - See all my reviews
Dr. Walter Bortz is indeed, my Grandfather. He and my Grandmother Ruthan Bortz (I call them Bapu and Rudi) still run marathons and such, and they are both over 70. I admire them for writing these books, and this is one of Bapu's best. I suggest everyone read it.
