Younger Next Year

by Chris Crowley, M.D., Henry S. Lodge
|
ISBN: 0761134239, Paperback- $ BUY
Turn back your biological clock. A breakthrough book for men--as much fun to read as it is persuasive--Younger Next Year draws on the very
latest science of aging to show how men 50 or older can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties. To enjoy life and be stronger, healthier, and more alert. To stave
off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging (weakness, sore joints, apathy), and to eliminate over 50% of all illness and potential injuries. This is the real thing, a program that will work for anyone who decides to apply himself to "Harry's Rules."Harry is Henry S. Lodge, M.D., a specialist in internal medicine and preventive healthcare. Chris Crowley is Harry's 70-year-old patient who's stronger today (and skiing better) than when he was 40.
Together, in alternating chapters that are lively, sometimes outspoken, and always utterly convincing, they spell out Harry's Rules and the science behind them. The rules are deceptively simple: Exercise Six Days a Week. Eat What You Know You Should. Connect to Other People and Commit to Feeling Passionate About Something. The
science, simplified and demystified, ranges from the molecular biology of growth and decay to how our bodies and minds evolved (and why they fare so poorly in our sedentary, all-feast no-famine
culture). The result is nothing less than a paradigm shift in our view of aging.Welcome to the next third of your life--train for it,
and you'll have a ball.

Younger Next Year for Women

by Chris Crowley, M.D., Henry S. Lodge

ISBN: 0761147748, Paperback- $ BUY
Co-written by one of the country's most prominent internists, Dr.Henry "Harry" Lodge, and his star patient, the 73-year-old Chris
Crowley, Younger Next Year for Women is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. 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.

Jack - Straight from the Gut
|
by Jack Welch, John A. Byrne
|
ISBN: 0446528382, Hardcover- $ BUY
It's hard to think of a CEO that commands as much respect as Jack Welch. Under his leadership, General Electric reinvented itself several times over by integrating new and innovative practices into its many lines of business.
In Jack: Straight from the Gut, Welch, with the help of Business Week journalist John Byrne, recounts his career and the style of management that helped to make GE one of the most successful companies of the last century. Beginning with Welch's childhood in Salem, Massachusetts, the book quickly progresses from his first job in GE's plastics division to his ambitious rise up the GE corporate ladder, which culminated in 1981. What comes across most in this autobiography is Welch's passion for business as well as his remarkable directness and intolerance of what he calls "superficial congeniality"--a dislike that would help earn him the nickname "Neutron Jack."
