The Complete Idiot's Guide to Looking and Feeling Younger

I enjoyed this book! At first I thought they were crazy with their "brushing the face" idea, but right after that I was reading the advice in national magazines. Their advice on skin care is what was most interesting to me but what I also liked was their positive upbeat tone, reminding me to knock off the negative thoughts about my body image or what other people will think. As far as the other review that mentions that it doesn't talk about friends or spirituality as a way of feeling and looking younger, well, those are valid points. But my take on this book is that it is more of a mental/physical changer. Spiritual issues could have been mentioned, in my opinion, but since we tend to gravitate towards people who are like us, if we are trying to change our image of ourselves, our friends may not be a good way to look younger.

Here is an easy-to-read collection of advice on feeling, looking, acting younger. Some of the advice is fresh and seems sound (do you brush your skin?). Some of the advice is good, and you know it, but you don't do it. Some, particularly the home remedies, I just don't buy. But it is all a quick read and may get you off the couch.

I picked up this book while waiting for a friend to decide on a gift for her mother. I was skeptical: You can't do anything to stop aging, so why bother? Imagine my surprise when I found something interesting, informative and, most importantly, inspiring on EVERY page. I bought two copies-one for myself and the other for my sister-and then I convinced my friend to buy it for her mom! Thank you!
