Reviews

Claiming that readers can regain youth "in a very genuine, practical and aesthetic sense, if not in a literal one," this is a tedious guide replete with well-worn suggestions. Based on random experiments and individual doctors' opinions, the superficial health advice runs the gamut from a pain-free back ("Don't lean forward when you sit") and preventing cancer ("Stay away from smoked foods") to enhancing sleep ("Eyeshades may help if bright street lights shine into the room"). There are also cosmetic remedies proffered for dry lips ("Protection in the form of a greasy film of some sort"), split nails ("Gently file out the split as soon as possible") and wardrobe ("The right clothes can make you feel more confident"). The Year of Rejuvenation, a program that suggests a new focus for each of 52 weeks ("Taste tofu," "Positive thinking," "Put laughter in your life"), will similarly disappoint those searching for fresh, tangible advice.
