About this listen

 Younger Next Year is about how to turn back your biological clock. How to become functionally younger every year for the next five to 10 years, and continue to live with vitality and grace into your 80s and beyond.

Harry's Rules (Harry being Harry S. Lodge, M.D.) are only seven, but they completely reverse the typical path of aging. Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life. Quit eating crap. Connect and commit. And to prove it is his star patient, the no-punches-pulled Chris Crowley, a 70-year-old who left the slippery slope of retirement and turned his life around. Harry tells you what to do. Chris tells you how. And their argument is irresistible.

You're a guy. You have responsibilities. You think about the future, the 401K, the kids' schools. There's one other thing you can't afford not to think about: yourself. Marrying science and reality, Younger Next Year is a convincing and passionate argument that if you train for the Next Third of life, you'll have a ball. Follow its simple rules and you'll find yourself in perhaps the best shape, in mind, body, and spirit, of your life.

Loved this book as it is positive motivation and great advice how to stay young while approaching old age.
At first the narrators sound a bit tongue in cheek but I got to like their humour as the book continued.
I would recommend this book as most of us don't understand how vital exercise is in creating a happy life.

Engaging, Entertaining, Excellent, Inspiring

It's a shame that the only other UK written review of this book is so negative - I suspect it will have stopped a number of us Brits having access to some truly life-enhancing advice. The other reviewer is right that the narration is likely to be a bit much for us non-Americans, but get used to the authors' passion and enthusiasm (not insincerity) as expressed by the narrators, act on the advice and you will most likely benefit. You may even benefit hugely. I have.

Excellent, doable, uplifting advice for older men

the narration is very American and sounds like it's being done by actors but the content is good.

dodgy narration but contents good

Would you try another book written by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge or narrated by Don Leslie and Rick Adamson ?

Both narrators sound like used-car salesmen and come across as smug, insincere, conniving and with an agenda. There are a few golden nuggets hidden in the book, but really only enough to fill a few pages and the rest seems to be a waste. I would not recommend this audiobook at all

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narration is annoying. The two voices sound like they are from beer or toothpaste commercials. Totally artificial and disingenuous

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

There are some nuggets up to the point I couldn't take any more. Exercise more regularly, eat more healthy food, be bold and join groups. Hmmm

Horrible audiobook
