A well balanced easily readable detailed focus on the most important and effective steps to health and longevity.
I found 20 Years Younger to contain the latest most user-friendly useful information I have read on health and longevity. All the information is easy to read and the exercise and nutrition guides are easy to follow. For me the most informative part of this book is the information on nutrition. Greene explains how poultry and fish is fine in ones diet as long as there is moderation, ho...more

I found this book after seeing Bob Greene on Oprah with 20 ladies that had followed the plan for two months.
Everything in this book seems do-able Some of the recipes are unusual and will not be making an appearance on my table.
There is good information about aging and ways to slow the effects from appearing on your face.
Bottom line. The older you get the more important your food choices become and exercise is non-negotiable.

I had a major birthday this year and hate to look in the mirror. I have noticed my skin sagging and just generally not looking as good as it once did along with sleep issues and that feeling of malaise. I have now tried some of the suggestions in this book for the last three week and I am amazed. Just be changing eating habits that really should be common sense to all and a few exercises that most people can do, you will be amazed that such little things can add up to a lot of change. There is a...more
I suppose this book could be useful to someone who is clueless, but it's the usual advice. The big three: eat cautiously, exercise and take care of your skin on a daily basis: clean, polish, moisturize. The menus seemed too simplistic and boring. He gained his fame through Oprah now he has to market himself to stay viable...and....YOUNG!
A good reminder of what our bodies and minds need to function at optimal levels. Covers everything from diet, exercise, skin care, sleep, attitude and over all happiness. Everyone should read this once to understand how to take care of themselves and how to promote vitality throughout life.
Well rounded look at wellness... With a strong case for fitness. I like the way Green talks about age related illness and how fitness can make a difference. Good recipes. Easy to follow guidance on vitamins (love that my ariix covers me) and skin care.
skimmed this one might revisit for more specific suggestions but it is basically the exercise (do a variety, not just one) eat well, plenty of sleep and clinch it with a hair dye (not sure if that was stated but it is obvious in his picture on the conver)
NOthing new here about fighting the natural effects of aging - regular (daily) exercise, healthy diet with low calorie count, and the usual keep your brain active, take care of your skin, and get lots of sleep. It's a good reminder though!
Greene has a nice emphasis on the importance of regular exercise - and lots of it. I've started to work towards a cardio goal after reading this book!
This book is divided into three basic health aspects, two of which are not usually touted that much: sleeping and skin care. The big method for staynig young as you might expect from Bob Greene is physical exercise. Generally helpful, mildly inspiring. Bob is his own best testimony.
I really liked this book. It combines a lot of the latest information and it's accessible.
I got it from the library but I'm considering buying it so I can go back and re-read it as needed.

A great reference guide to good eating, exercise, skin care and sleep. There were many take aways I gained from this book.
An easy read - but nothing earth-shattering. Some of the recipes look interesting and I will definitely give them a try. I like the way he detailed the strength exercises. To achieve level III cardiovascular fitness you are supposed to exercise 400-minutes per week (just cardio). That might be tough for anyone to attain.
I borrowed this from the library, but I think I have to have my own copy to keep!
I just don't like the way he writes. He had some good info but just not my style. I had a hard time keeping focused while reading this book.

Great advice ... Now I just have to do it!
This book is about everything that you've heard and learned with more, all wrapped up in a nice book. There is really some great advice here. I enjoyed reading this book. You're never too young or too old to start doing any of his tips or techniques. I’m find that it's particularly important, at this stage in my life, to pay attention to my exercise, eating, skin and sleep habits!
Motivational
A great follow up book to read after The Blue Zones and The China Study. This book adds skin care and sleep information and provides an action plan for exercise and a meal plan for following the Mediterranean and Okinawan/rural Chinese diet.
Loved all of it, especially the sections on skin care and attitudes about aging. Also helped me to realize that I need to be more than a one-trick pony when it comes to exercise. This is a book to come back to over and over for refreshers and encouragement.
Everything you've heard/learned and more, all wrapped up in a nice conversational package. Solid advice I actually enjoyed reading. You're never too young or too old to implement any of his tips or techniques, but I find that it's particularly important, at this stage in my life, to pay attention to my exercise, eating, skin and sleep habits!
This is an upbeat book which presents a strong argument for changing bad health habits to good health habits. The author offers encouraging words for making changes. This is a book to read carefully and to take notes on -- if you are serious about improving health and appearance.
Most of the time it is fun the listen to a book read by the authors. This book though would most likely be better as a written book, since it has many lists...
Enjoyed the first and last disks the best I think.

The introduction is promising , although similar to Dr Oz You: staying Young
This is probably one of the better fitness/nutrition books I've read. But they are all really one and the same but if I had to recommend one I think this is a good one.
I thought this was a great source of information. I think it is a bit extreme but still valuable for the information it provides.
Some really good info.
