From Publishers Weekly
Believing they have a unique approach for improving men's lives, Crowley, a former litigator, and Lodge, a board-certified internist, collaborated to write this "evolutionary" health program. The authors base their plan on the idea that instead of looking forward to decades of pain as the body slowly deteriorates, it's possible to live as if you were 50, maybe even younger, for the rest of your life. Yet with the exception of "Harry's First Rule"—exercise at least six days a week—there isn't much that's new or groundbreaking in their agenda. Most recommendations fall under the "common sense" umbrella, though these suggestions may be news to many men, who aren't as steeped in the world of health and fitness as most women are (they may find the chapters dealing with nutrition and biology particularly informative). The authors' method of proffering their philosophy is rather trite, however, and their cavalier demeanor belies the significance of what they have to say. More than one-third of the book is devoted to how and why they came up with this program based on their own lives, with special attention to 70-year-old Crowley's impressive abilities (he says he can ski better now than he could twenty years ago). All told, this manual for healthy living offers sound, if unoriginal, advice with some hackneyed padding.

Aging men unite--you now can look and feel younger, and have more fun, flexibility, and lovemaking in your life. The only catch, according to our authors, is the need for lots of work. Get out and work your body every day--revamp your diet, keep your mind active, challenge yourself. Some breakthrough health studies and medical facts are delivered by one reader while lifestyle pointers are delivered by his counterpart, a purring Lothario of the golden years, and a bit over the top at that. Nonetheless, YOUNGER NEXT YEAR offers a practical new health paradigm for aging men in this bright and lively recording. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine--

Reader Reviews
Of all the anti-aging books I've seen, this is one of most laid back and entertaining. It's written by two guys. Harry, the doctor, covers the science aspects of aging, while the other guy, Chris, talks about applying the info. The book is centered around "Harry's Rules." These are seven rules for the reader to follow. They include such things as "Quit eating crap" or "Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life." While they might seem to be basic pieces of information, they are sound advice and have some science behind them. All-in-all, I found this to be a very informative and amusing book and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book on aging. The realistic key here is not to go into things thinking you're going to STOP the aging process, rather think of SLOWING DOWN the aging process. Aging readers may also find Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff helpful as 54% of people over the age of sixty get a torn rotator cuff.
