Book Description
Turn back your biological clock. A breakthrough book for men--as much fun to read as it is persuasive--Younger Next Year draws on the very latest science of aging to show how men 50 or older can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties. To enjoy life and be stronger, healthier, and more alert. To stave off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging (weakness, sore joints, apathy), and to eliminate over 50% of all illness and potential injuries. This is the real thing, a program that will work for anyone who decides to apply himself to "Harry's Rules."
Harry is Henry S. Lodge, M.D., a specialist in internal medicine and preventive healthcare. Chris Crowley is Harry's 70-year-old patient who's stronger today (and skiing better) than when he was 40. Together, in alternating chapters that are lively, sometimes outspoken, and always utterly convincing, they spell out Harry's Rules and the science behind them. The rules are deceptively simple: Exercise Six Days a Week. Eat What You Know You Should. Connect to Other People and Commit to Feeling Passionate About Something. The science, simplified and demystified, ranges from the molecular biology of growth and decay to how our bodies and minds evolved (and why they fare so poorly in our sedentary, all-feast no-famine culture). The result is nothing less than a paradigm shift in our view of aging.
Welcome to the next third of your life--train for it, and you'll have a ball.

Don't buy this book, just eat right and exercise........2007-10-22
This book talks about how we evolved five hundred million years ago from invertebrate ancestors (what a joke) and that we have the same basic, physical brain as a Salmon.The fish passed it on to the amphibians, who spun off dinosaurs, reptiles and birds.The book says we split off from reptiles two hundred millon years ago, but we carried their gift, the physical brain,with us, largely unchanged, and it runs our bodies today.
The only thing I agree on in this book is if we want to feel younger next year is that we need to exercise and eat right. I think we all know that and don't have to waste our time and money on this book.
Good enough for me.......2007-10-22
I heard the author interviewed on radio and decided that it had to be a fun, informative read. I was not disappointed. It could have been a shorter book, but I really needed the reinforcement of some of the repetitive info.
I've bought copies to give to my friends and family. I guess you can't do much better than that.
A must-read for most Americans - Period........2007-10-22
Though this work is aimed mainly at those 40+, this is a must-read for any age. Entering my 30's, I am now entirely convinced of the need for daily intensive exercise, which has changed my life. I was already on track to many of the tips and 'rules' in this book, but I credit this book with driving home the point, and making it stick - and with terrific results. I literally feel 20 most days. Read this book - and then pass it on to the next person who needs it. If you have a special lady in your life, get her the version for women, based upon this work. I must say, I truly appreciate how well the authors have driven home this message with such a wonderful and effective mix of cold facts and humor. It's a really fun read - and one that's hard to put down.
Can We Live to be 150 .......2007-09-18
It is a very good book for anyone concerned about aging. We get more aware of our age at the time of retirement. Switching from a daily-work routine to a totally new idea of all-time-holidays is often not as pleasurable as we expected thirty or more years before. At that difficult time, it is very helpful to focus on the Four Pillars of Longevity as suggested by the authors of the book:
1. Six-times-a-week exercising.
2. Eating for nutrition, not for any other reason. Focusing on fruits and vegetables.
3. Avoiding boredom, developing your hobbies.
4. Connecting with many other people - creating a solid circle of friends.
The book provides some good medical background for these readers that like to understand why certain things are happening.
Another book well worth reading is Can We Live 150. It is the Body Maintenance Handbook, as the subtitle states. I like the common sense approach that is prevalent throughout the pages. Some of author's ideas, for obvious reasons, are similar to the ones presented by Crovley and Lodge, but on the whole it is a totally different book.

Your Next.............2007-07-29
Mr. Trotta gave an excellent glimpse into his life. It was revealing in that he overcame many obstacles seldomly experienced by others. His story I believe gives hope to others striving to live life on their own terms. I want to thank him for his candor and wish him the best of success in the future. I have had the opportunity to met his wife and him in person. They are very unique people and the biography does them justice.

Book Description
Few Hollywood memoirs have offered as distinctive and candid a perspective on the film industry as producer and studio executive Mike Medavoy's You're Only As Good As Your Next One. Here is a deeply personal history of four decades in American film, told by a pivotal player in the creation of more than three hundred films -- or, as Medavoy distinguishes them, "one hundred great films, one hundred good films, and one hundred for which I should be shot." Included are eight Best Picture Oscar winners. On all of them, he knows the behind-the-scenes dramas, who got credit for whose achievements, and who didn't get credit but should have.
His ties to four major studios mirror the most fascinating chapters in American filmmaking. At United Artists, he and his partners were behind the creative revolution of the hot young directors of the 1970s, and they backed such seminal films as Apocalypse Now, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Rocky. At Orion Pictures, he backed such '80s smashes as Amadeus, The Terminator, Platoon, and The Silence of the Lambs. He navigated the '90s corporate culture at TriStar Pictures, green-lighting Philadelphia and Sleepless in Seattle. Now at his own Phoenix Pictures, the producer of such acclaimed works as The People vs. Larry Flynt and The Thin Red Line controls his destiny, but never strays far from controversy. Medavoy pulls no punches in telling his story of financial and political maneuvering, great triumphs and the inevitable disasters, and working with the industry's brightest star power including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Milos Forman, Jonathan Demme, Francis Coppola, John Milius, Terrence Malick, Kevin Costner, Tom Hanks, Jane Fonda, Warren Beatty, Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, Meg Ryan, Dustin Hoffman, and countless others.
This is also the story of how movie studio buyouts have stymied the creative process and shaped the future of film. Gone is the hands-off golden age that spawned some of the most influential and successful films of our time. An eyewitness to Hollywood history in the making, Mike Medavoy gives a powerful and poignant view of the past and future of a world he knows intimately.

You're Only as Good as Your Next One by Mike Medavoy.......2005-06-17
Mike Medavoy's Bio is a very good educational book
Dear Sirs:
(...) I spend all my days after school and during the week-ends watching movies at home with my friends and our parents. We like, especially, all the Mike Medavoy's movies: Holes, Apocalypse Now, Rocky, Basic, Robocop, Cliffhanger, The 6th Day, Apt Pupil, The Thin Red Line, Terminator, Hook, Platoon... We like his movies because he is a producer with conscience. For these reasons I think that the Mike Medavoy's Bio is a very good educational book. This book really deserves to be distributed in all the Schools, Colleges and Universities of Cinema of the Country (Hey, teacher, thank you!).
Plus I really think that Mr. Medavoy is a Good Man, a Good Son, a Good Father and a Good Friend. He never judge the other People (he just writes the history) and he is always helping a lot of great talents. He is an unique human being in Hollywood. Mike Medavoy knows how to do movies with an extraordinary talent and with great love.

Did not like this book.......2005-02-16
This book was not compelling and the story of Mike Medavoy simply not interesting. It seems like his life has always been about himself. After all, he's married a half a dozen times, continues to cheat, has kids who are a mess and he is grotesque. So if you are going to learn form somebody read about Ted Turner, Jack Warner...Medavoy shouldn't have a book deal in the first place. This was a total waste of my time.

Book Description
Co-written by one of the country's most prominent internists, Dr. Henry "Harry" Lodge, and his star patient, the 73-year-old Chris Crowley, Younger Next Year for Women is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. This is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. Using the same inspired structure of alternating voices, Chris and Harry have recast material specifically for women, who already live longer and take better care of themselves than men. New material covers menopause and post-menopause, as well as cardiac disease, osteoporosis, sexuality, and more.
This is the book that can show us how to turn back our biological clocks—how to put off 70% of the normal problems of aging (weakness, sore joints, bad balance) and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. The key to the program is found in Harry's Rules: Exercise six days a week. Don't eat crap. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules all together, based on the latest findings in cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and experimental psychology. Dr. Lodge explains how and why they work—and Chris Crowley, who is living proof of their effectiveness (skiing better today, for example, than he did twenty years ago), gives the just-as-essential motivation.
Both men and women can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, then continue to live with newfound vitality and pleasure deep into our 80s and beyond.
Customer Reviews:
Young at heart.......2007-10-06
This is a good addition to the authors' previous book. It isn't the usual blah, blah, blah, but scientific information which amount to common sense. I am grateful to the authors for keeping me and my wife young at heart. I was happy to buy for my wife this book as "her own" copy, after we both extensively studied the original "Younger Next Year". Another great book that I highly recommend is "Can We Live 150 Year". In fact these two titles should be sold in one package as they complement each other
Younger Next Year for Women.......2007-09-28
Excellent arguments for doing all the right things you know you should do. Different approach in understanding how we age. Very comprehensive coverage of things we need to know. Down to earth, doable steps we can take to add healthier years to our lives. (Mrs. J. T.)
Encouraging book!!.......2007-09-28
This book gives advice and encouragement to women who have falsely come to believe that deterioration comes with age and there is nothing we can do about it. I truly enjoyed it and recommend it, but still want to make the following comments: it belabored the value of exercise to the point where I felt like shouting "OK, I get it, I get...we need to exercise!". In a way, I kept waiting for the book to also talk about OTHER things too, but really this was the total focus of the book. I also thought that it would have been nice if the authors included some women doctors' perspectives too (it was weird getting all that advice on how we women should live our lives from two men). And lastly, I felt that the recommendation (strongly and repeatedly given) to exercise for HOURS a day, every day preferably, was fine for the retired author of the book who, as another reviewer also mentioned, was spending ALOT of time doing things that are not easily affordable by the average woman, nevermind the huge amount of vacation/play time he had to enjoy that high-end exercise, like biking trips and skiing trips...not realistic for the kinds of lives most women, age 50-60 at least, really live in today's world (lives filled with the time demands of jobs combined with children, homes, elderly parents, grandchildren, etc.). It may be that this much exercise is what is really needed to turn back the clock, but I'm hoping that's not true- since so few of us have THAT much time to devote to exercise (the authors seemed to think that if you had your priorities straight, you'd find the time). In summary, however, the authors did convince me that I need to add strength training to my cardio training, so all-in-all, I felt it was worth reading this book and I do recommend!
I enjoyed every minute of it!.......2007-09-09
This book will make you look younger! Another bestseller that I love and highly recommend - How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You
Great Book!!.......2007-09-07
This book is great reading! It's easy and entertaining. It offers excellent insights into our aging process and how to be healthy as we age. Each time I finish reading, I feel motivated to get out, exercise and get healthy!!

Read this book and give a great first impression.......1998-07-21
After reading this book I re-formated my resume. When your searching for a job and only have the newspaper as a resource, mose businesses receive hundreds of resumes. I received callbacks from 95% of employers I sent my resume to and during the interviews I was appraised on how my resume was one that stuck out in the crowd. I got the job I wanted because I made a great first impression with my RESUME
Book Description
The stodgy, old-fashioned typewritten résumé is a thing of the past—and Barron's has a brand-new résumé manual designed to propel today's job seekers toward success! The emphasis is on organizing one's job qualifications and career experience to make the best possible presentation, but this how-to book focuses on a far broader range of job-seeking techniques than simply writing a good résumé. The author advises on taking full advantage of career planning internet sources and college career service centers. She also points out differences between paper résumés and electronic résumés and discusses methods of preparing each. In many career fields, a well-presented paper résumé will never go out of date, and this book explains how to organize résumé material, present past accomplishments succinctly, then “sell” one's skills with dynamic sentences and power verbs. It also shows how to prepare scannable and e-mailable résumés, create dynamic cover letters, include photos and references when required, select appropriate type faces and paper colors, and much more. The author also inspires job seekers with scores of model résumés that apply to everyone from first-time job hunters to executives seeking to advance their careers.

BETTER BOOK.......2004-11-30
This is a BETTER BOOK for being hired because it has all the mighty details written by Canadian writer ROBERT P. DOWNE, such as what to write in your resume and how to access businesses that might not advertise the fact they are hiring, but if you show up at the right time . . . . There are many sample resumes which illustrate many different styles - change your resume depending on what position you are going for, says the author.
Product Description
Finding the right job takes more than the desire to work and the Sunday classified section of your local newspaper. No matter how much or how little experience you have, whether you are looking for your first job, or a way to move up to a better job, you need a strong, concise resume, and you need to know how to conduct yourself on a job interview.
