Younger Next Year

A Guide to Living Like 50 Until You're 80 and Beyond

By: Chris Crowley, Henry S. Lodge M.D.

Narrated by: Don Leslie, Rick Adamson

Length: 7 hrs and 38 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

Most logical book in years

Younger Next Year makes total sense. Cleverly written and entertaining. My road map to retirement.

This book is life changing

This book is the reason I subscribed to Audible.Com and I'm glad I did for so many reasons. And as I said in the title of this review, this book is life changing. I have changed things up to closely follow the book's recommendations and have seen positive results in a short amount of time.

Awesome

Awesome book with great concepts and well written. A most read for everyone who loves their life as it is under forty and even more important for those who don't. As for those over 40 this book will give them a roadmap for staying at that age for a long time to come at least functionally. Well done guys

Great stuff

Inspiring and full of information. Should be required reading for anyone 50 and above. And I found that listening to the audible version is actually better than reading the book - at least as far as motivation is concerned. I keep a copy of the book for reference...

Book Review
love it
was great
listened to the book two or three times in the last month

This Book Got Me To Understand "Why" I Need To Make Changes

There are thousands of book that will point out, usually correctly, the right way to live. This book explains why we have to live like that so anyone can understand. I'm 55 y/o. I will be no more than 54 next year. It is going to be hard but I feel confident it will be well worth it and I'll be 53 the year after.

Henry and Chris did a wonderful job explaining the details and keeping me me interested. Thank you very much for doing this.

Chris and Harry do a great job of describing a healthy workout system four men approaching their senior years and retirement

Do the Work

I started this book and groaned that it was for 50+ year olds, but it's not, the sooner you start the better. Maybe I'm just reading this at the perfect time in my life, but it feels fresh and positioned well. It's motivated this fat 42 year old.

Utterly fantastic ...

As someone starting into my later third, I found this a terrific introduction into what will be coming next. It's filled with great advice and optimism.
