This is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. Using the same inspired structure of alternating voices, Chris and Harry have recast material specifically for women, who already live longer and take better care of themselves than men. New material covers menopause and post-menopause, as well as cardiac disease, osteoporosis, sexuality, and more. This is the book that can show us how to turn back our biological clocks—how to put off 70% of the normal problems of aging (weakness, sore joints, bad balance) and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. The key to the program is found in Harry's Rules: Exercise six days a week. Don't eat crap. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules all together, based on the latest findings in cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and experimental psychology. Dr. Lodge explains how and why they work—and Chris Crowley, who is living proof of their effectiveness (skiing better today, for example, than he did twenty years ago), gives the just-as-essential motivation. Both men and women can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, then continue to live with newfound vitality and pleasure deep into our 80s and beyond. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Same as the other book.I read the first book written by the 2 authors and hoped the edition for women would be full of information that would be useful to me as a woman. It was mostly a rewrite of their first book. There was nothing in it that I didn't already know. The only positive thing I can remark upon is that it had a pretty pink cover. If you already have "Younger Next Year", don't bother purchasing this one. You will experience deja vu. Rating: - Finally Sinking InI have never written a review on any book or product, but this book motivated me to go ahead and share my opinion. I just had my 39th birthday and have spent the last year on a quest to improve myself. I have read countless health/fitness books and subscribe to 6 different health/light cooking magazines. I am 40 pounds overweight and have spent far more time investigating a quick fix to my problem than actually working on it! Despite being fully armed with more health and exercise ...

Eat right, Exercise, rid yourself of relationships that drain you and make you unhappy, Exercise, create a supportive network of friends, Exercise, stay involved in activities. There I just told you what the entire book said, so save your money. I thought this book had a slightly sexist tone to it because it seemed that women were more defined by their relationships to others especially a spouse. A woman is not defined by who she marries, if she even chooses ... Read More Rating:  - Younger Next YearThis is an incredible Book; purchased 3 initially and 3 more as gifts for friends....would highly recommend this for everyone; there is a man's version which was the first book written. Rating: - Don't shoot the messengerMy wife and I have believed for some time that exercise and diet are critical to good health. These books and audio-books kick started us toward a healthier retirement. Written by an MD and his patient, the books offer Dr. Harry's scientific rationale for the proposed lifestyle without being too technical. The patient, Chris, comes off as a bit insensitive, elitist and chauvinistic, but his messages are worthwhile as he tells how he and others have turned their lives around with Dr. Harry's ...
