 This is a must read for anyone who wants to reverse the aging process
Deepak gives excellent and easy to follow instructions for anyone who wants to reverse the aging process. Initially, I picked-up the cd's from the library and after listening to the 5 cd set I just had to purchase the book. If you want to learn meditation, the necessary and proper exercises, yoga, the right foods to eat, etc. its all in this book. The main focus of all the ten steps presented is focused on Growing Younger, Living a Longer "and Healthy life."
Healing and Calming Ideas
"If you have the expectations that you can grow younger and live longer, this will be your experience." ~ pg. 19
After reading "Grow Younger, Live Longer" I had the desire to go looking for sandalwood soap and took out my Kama Sutra massage oils to give my husband a back massage. This book will inspire you to live a little more sensuously and mindfully. Although I must say that the idea about meditating before you eat your dinner may be a little unrealistic if you are the one preparing your dinner. I find meditation is best after doing yoga in the evening.
Deepak Chopra and David Simon do not state that you will never age or completely reverse aging but describe how you can reset your Biostat (biological age). That just means you will be up to fifteen years younger than your chronological age. Simple things are suggested like taking supplements, drinking more water or developing an exercise routine. There are a few instructions for doing yoga but I'd advise you to rent some yoga DVDs from Neflix (or buy some here at amazon) which will give you a far more realistic experience. I think if you are new to yoga a good instructor is vital to your success.
"Toxic emotions are often the most harmful accelerators of the aging process. Commit to releasing them from your heart and mind." ~ pg. 158
While reading this excellent book I was made aware of some things I really needed to hear. I liked the sections on present-moment awareness, breaking habitual patterns and forgiveness.
Deepak Chopra and David Simon have created a very healing, nurturing book that seems to lull you into a sense of security and peace. From this new state of awareness you are then inspired to try out a few of the ideas presented and to make lasting changes in your life.
Don't be surprised if you read this book and suddenly have the urge to go walk on a beach or to try out some Ayurvedic beauty care items. We all know stress accelerates aging so why not spend the evening with a good book in bed. I found this book to be calming and informative and I'm glad I finally read it!

~The Rebecca Review
What is the mind body connection?
You are like an architect who changes his building plan. When you change your perception of aging you also change your behavior. The mind rules when it comes to aging. Ideas presented about eliminating emotional toxins are priceless. Being flexible and open to new experiences is crucial according to those that have lived a long life. Both ancient practices and the wise use of supplemental nutrition are discussed. Once you know how harmful some practices are you begin to change. You start to let go of the past and look forward. After dinner, I used to take a nap. No mas. Instead, I take the ten-minute walk on the treadmill, as suggested; in addition to my daily 30 minute walk outside. I find nightly sleep more relaxing. Rising with the sun is exhilarating. You can develop your own stretches and salute to the sun, or follow the recommendations in the book. Taking a few moments during the day to meditate seems to enhance creative ideas. Oh yes. Mind and body integration is an essential part of growing old. This book is both inspirational and a practical guide for future reference. People often say you are what you eat. After this book, I now believe you are what your thoughts and perceptions lead you to do. After all, that is what people see.
 Don't bother
Waste of time, waste of money. Any valuable information from Deepak Chopra is in his original book "Perfect Health" and it is slim pickings at that. Every other book he has written since "Perfect Health" is a watered down re-hash of the same material. Don't bother with this book, or any of his others. You'd be better off with an all around nutrition book.
Grow younger, live longer
I had the opportunity to hear the CD before purshase the book but I want to go over the meditation steps and for my surprise, the book comes with a fantastic number of recipes that guide you to change your eating habits.... This is a fantastic book like many others from Chopra.
