From Booklist
Goldberg, a hypnotherapist, author, and retired dentist, offers a longevity manual with an emphasis on techniques to change one's perceptions and beliefs about aging. In part 1, Goldberg reviews the theories of aging, supported by references to the literature. Part 2 outlines detailed dietary, exercise, behavioral, and lifestyle changes that can preserve a youthful body and mind. All suggestions are common to most alternative health books and are low in cost and relatively simple to follow. The focus of part 2 is the chapter on self-hypnosis, a way of relaxing and setting aside the conscious mind to activate the subconscious mind, usually with suggestions to make desired changes. Step-by-step instructions and scripts are given for helping such conditions as insomnia, anxiety, pain, and the lack of self-confidence. The chapter ends with special self-hypnosis techniques for visual imagery and for specifically slowing down the aging process. Penny Spokes


From Independent Publisher
The concept of reversing the aging process naturally should inspire almost everyone. Who wouldn't want to learn techniques that could significantly alter the bodily changes that are synonymous with growing older? Dr. Goldberg, an alternative medicine practitioner since 1974, introduces the concept of "youthing" which combines meditative techniques including self-hypnosis, with exercise and nutritional analysis, for the end result of living a longer and happier life. While Goldberg points out that scientists estimate humans to have the capability of living to be at least 120 years old, the average age that Americans live today is only 75. This discrepancy can be attributed, according to Goldberg, to simply accepting an outdated theory that getting old is unavoidable and the ravages to our bodies merely a fact of life. Goldberg dispels this belief, insisting that by incorporating a proactive approach to life, high blood pressure, wrinkles, weight problems, heart problems, and many diseases can be prevented. The recurrent tone of this book is upbeat and encouraging. The author's research is extensive, based on gerontology, biochemistry, and genetics. His exercise segment lists calisthenics, weight training, and cardiovascular routines for the reader, and the nutritional segment gives a variety of diets including a Very Low Calorie (VLC) diet which Goldberg believes might help for longevity. The important concept of self-hypnosis is detailed at length, offering the end result of peace and spiritual rejuvenation. A fulfilling book to read for those of us who would like to snub our noses at the idea of getting old. Enjoying each moment of life and utilizing some of the positive approaches to living well listed in this book are far more rewarding ways to live life to the fullest.
