YOU: On a Diet; director, Cardiovascular Institute,
Columbia University Medical Center

I am fifty-four years old and have been on your program for ten months. I purchased a heart monitor, hired a trainer, and exercise for at least forty-five minutes, six days per week. I have lost over thirty pounds and still enjoy my wine. I want to thank you for writing the book that reached me. It was not too late.

STEVE M.

An extraordinary book.... It is easy to read, the science is right, and if one follows Henry Lodges and Chris Crowleys recommendations, both mental and physical aging can be delayed. I wish my patients would follow their advice!

K. CRAIG KENT, M.D.,
chief of vascular surgery,
New YorkPresbyterian Hospital

A high-octane approach to keeping lean, fit, and active as we age.

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

I cant thank you enough for turning my life around. I read Younger Next Year about eight months ago, it struck a chord, and I started a serious workout program. Ive lost sixty-one pounds to date and need to shed another eighteen to reach my goal. Great work, and thanks for adding a number of years to my life.

KEITH V.

Im glad I read your book in my late thirties. I have that much more time to prepare for the aging process and establish good habitsand I have built more aerobic endurance than I had as a teenage athlete!

ANGELO N.

Youve put the spring back in my husbands step and his posture improves daily. It didnt hurt me to read your book, either.

BETSY A.

A must-read for any woman with a special man in her life. Lively and entertaining, it is packed with important information to help men live longer, healthier, sexier and more vibrant lives.

A breakthrough book... written in a lighthearted, humorous style, [its] serious intentions underscore excellent advice.

Frequent Flyer

With optimism, insight, and humor, Crowley and Lodge provide sound information and practical suggestions for living a healthy and active later third life.

ALLEN ROSENFIELD, M.D.,
dean, School of Public Health, Columbia University

Your book changed my life, and I gave many copies to friends. One gave it to her seventy-five-year-old father, who is on oxygen. He was so inspired that he started walking laps around his dining table, carrying his tank with him.

ELAINE R.

Men apparently are reluctant to ask for directions, but can they resist advice regarding their well-being? I think not. Here is a book full of sound information, thoughtfully provocative, fresh, and witty. And better yet, you dont have to be a man to find this book useful.

JAMAICA KINCAID,
author of Annie John and
The Autobiography of My Mother

A powerful message... for all concerned with living long and well, a book in plain English that weaves knowledge of medicine and evolving science together with concrete advice and a thoughtful perspective.

HERBERT PARDES, M.D.,
president and CEO, New YorkPresbyterian Hospital

Written with a sense of humor in a chatty style thats easy to read... full of important advice to heed now in order to stay healthy and fit well past ones retirement years.

The Detroit News

Younger Next Year has changed my life and outlook in countless positive ways. My dad, who died a couple years ago at age ninety, was a star basketball player and a golfer who believed he could continue to improve until his very last days. He worked out every day of his life and was way ahead of his time.

Shortly after his death, I happened to pick up your book. It was like my dad speaking to me, telling me it was time to get moving. I realized that though my job and four kids kept me busy, the wee hours of the morning could rejuvenate my physical and mental well-being. I am now up six days a week before work to swim, run, spin, or do weights.

BONNIE B.

We owe it to ourselves to know that we have the choice to age in good health. This book tells you about it. Read it.

JOHN S. REED, former chairman, New York Stock
Exchange; former chairman and CEO, Citicorp

Younger Next Year will fill you up with facts. But these facts are fun to learn because they are important and because they are described with great joy and passion. I was astonished by how well [the authors] wove sophisticated concepts such as the emotional brain, inflammation, nutrition, and metabolism, into the fabric of everyday life.

GERALD D. FISCHBACH, M.D.,
director, National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke, National Institutes of Health;
dean, Faculty of Health Sciences and the
Faculty of Medicine, Columbia University

As a nurse practitioner, I would highly recommend your books to any and all adults. Your wonderful books actually have a very real potential to make a huge difference. Our obese nation needs this NOW!

DEBBIE B., R.N., M.S., N.P.

One of our highest recommendations so far on growing old gracefully.... Dr. Lodge, a prominent M.D., focuses on developments in cellular and evolutionary biology. Crowley, his guinea pig, is a firm believer in Dr. Lodges science and very good at convincing the reader that, if youre a fifty-year-old man, youd be an idiot not to start following the rules as soon as possible.... Should be read avidly by anyone growing older as well as forward-thinking youngsters.

Kirkus Reports

This may sound a bit odd, but I get greatI mean really greatmotivation from reading and rereading this book. I just completed my seventh time reading through it cover to cover. I do not find it boring even after all those times. In fact, every time I pick up on something that I sort of glossed over on a previous visit. Its incredible, but with each reading I get more committed (maybe even more compulsive) about keeping this new lifestyle going. And working to get better at it little by little. So if you find yourself slipping a little on the exercise, or the nutrition, or maybe a little discouraged about making connections and commitments, sit down and read through the book again. Its amazing the effect it has on your motivation.

TOM C.

Not a week goes by that I do not utter a silent prayer of thanks that Younger Next Year came into my life. You guys are saving the world, one body at a time. I was on the StairMaster today with my heartbeat at 140. One minute after quitting my heartbeat was 92. Im three weeks from my sixty-second birthday. You guys belong in the pantheon of the Olympic gods for giving all of us 1) hope and 2) a plan of action.
