Praise for Healthy Aging

"In Healthy Aging, [Weil] doesn't just give important advice, he takes some well-aimed shots, too: at our youth-obsessed culture and at the health-care industry--which he believes is on the verge of collapse." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Compared with radical diets and extreme cosmetic procedures, Weil's common-sense approach to lifelong well-being has a lot of appeal." --The Washington Post

"Healthy Aging brings scientific research to bear on everything from fountain-of-youth claims to genetic theory. It also serves up practical advice on the elements of life we all know, or at least suspect, are directly tied to health: diet, sleep, exercise, sexuality and mental attitude." --Santa Cruz Sentinel

"Refreshingly, Weil embraces the notion, popular in Eastern cultures, that age brings wisdom, peace and prosperity of a different kind." --Publishers Weekly
