Okay. I'll admit it... I'm 32. A fact which seems to imply that I should not be reading the 'over 50' book. But...
Everyone should give this a read.
'Chris' and 'Harry,' the retired lawyer and active doctor, provide a remarkably simple guide to living. Then they back it up. I'm sold, and I'm not going to wait until I'm 50 to start making changes.
I want to get the most out of my life; don't you?

A doctor recommended I read this so I guess I'd better!
The introduction goes on for-eeeeeeeveeeeeer. They keep alluding to the science, but not sharing it.
The writing is so bad. I couldn't finish.
Basically, eat vegetables, eat less than you used to, exercise daily, vigorously, no excuses, and be in a positive partnership. Also, be engaged in your community; find a way to contribute.

I did not like this book, at all. I didn’t like the style of writing. A book for women should probably be written by women in a way that is appealing. To me, this seemed like they took the men’s version and added a few stories about women. I also didn’t like how they said women didn’t work as hard as men. That being said, if you have an aversion to exercise and you need a kick in the arse to get started, this might be for you. I really didn’t learn much and found it a waste of my time.
Really. Read this book. Better yet, own the book and refer to it often.
I would have rated this book higher if not for the authors' insistance that you have a gym membership. That is financially out of reach for many and you can work out for free at home with YouTube.

Even though this book is targeted to women in their 40s-60s, the information is relevant to all age groups and is presented in an approachable way. It’s a good mix of encouraging, but realistic so readers understand they must stay accountable for their own health. I personally enjoyed the chapters on evolution and biology more than the anecdotal chapters. The anecdotal chapters sometimes felt wordy and dragged so I ended up skimming them. Nevertheless, those chapters kept the book entertaining and personable so that the book didn’t get too “science-y” and dry. Good read overall with specific guidelines to lead a healthy lifestyle.

This book was very informative and fun to read. I have made life changing modifications in my daily life.
Good, sound advice. But loved the "layman's" chapters better than the doctor's. The doctor talked too much about the cavemen:)!
The message of the book is good and it is very readable. The frustrations I felt were only at myself, for knowing that the message was true, but having a hard time implementing in my life. I imagine when I get over at my anger one of these days I'll revisit the book and some of the specifics it offered. First time through, I walk away with some "big picture" things to be working on.
