10 Steps to Reverse Aging

Length: 5 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's summary

In a new book that extends the consciousness-based approach of mega bestseller Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Deepak Chopra, M.D., and his colleague David Simon, M.D., present ten practical steps that will enable listeners to reset their biological age (which determines how we look and feel) as much as fifteen years lower than their chronological age.

The idea for this book was born in early spring 2000, when Dr. Chopra was being interviewed on Larry King Live! As the conversation turned to aging, Dr. Chopra listed 10 steps we can take to reverse its effects. The phones at the television studio and the Chopra Center for Well Being lit up with calls from people wanting to know more. This phenomenal response clearly called for a book on the topic, and here it is.

At the heart of Grow Younger, Live Longer is a complete, simple-to-follow program for personal renewal, complete with specific supplements, exercises, and mediation techniques. Among the steps are:

—Change your perception of time

—Access restful awareness and restful sleep

—Nourish your body with anti-aging foods

—Elminate toxins

—Make love the most important thing in your life

Critic reviews

"Deepak Chopra and David Simon provide the reasons to see old age as both a mind-set and a recipe for breaking its hold on us. If we follow their advice, I believe that at the very least we’ll forestall the negative effects of aging, and we can possibly even reverse the aging process itself.” –Ellen J. Langer, Ph.D., professor of psychology, Harvard University

“We all want to grow younger and live longer. Drs. Chopra and Simon’s book gives us a powerful, step-by-step way to remember that it is possible. A while ago, I fell into an ‘aging ditch’ (joint pains, feeling old, lines on the skin). I followed the ‘10 steps to reverse aging’ and the results were phenomenal: vital body, glowing skin, and no more pains. Everyone can benefit from this information." –Margot Anand, Ph.D., author of The Art of Sexual Ecstasy

“The ten steps offered in this book represent a quantum leap in our understanding of how to reverse biological age.” –Mark Mastrov, CEO, 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide

This a very soothing book

I enjoyed listening to the information and data provided in this book, sometimes it being very calming and sometimes informative. I’d listen again in the future.

Life Changing

Would you listen to Grow Younger, Live Longer again? Why?

YES! This audiobook had so much information that I had to keep rewinding to hear it again! Even though I've heard much of the wisdom and education in this book, hearing Deepak Chopra deliver the message had a type of "hypnotic" effect on me. After listening to this book, I found myself eating less (which I could not seem to do with any other method), and I have begun truly feeling younger. It is so odd, but I'm following his instructions, and I feel GREAT.

What other book might you compare Grow Younger, Live Longer to and why?

Deepak Chopra reminds me in many ways of Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Martha Beck, and Stuart Wilde rolled into one! ....also reminds me a bit of excerpts from "The Secret", as well as "What the Bleep Do We Know?", and Course in Miracles.

What does Deepak Chopra bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice seems to have had a hypnotic effect on me. I have actually internalized the information. I feel like his instructions have become a part of me.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I love his commentary on the mind-body connection, as well as the need for a collective belief in "living forever". He says that because we (as a people) do not believe it is possible (largely), we haven't developed the belief yet that we can live forever. And he offers great insights on holding onto resentments and negative emotions.

Any additional comments?

This book is totally worth it if you're serious about living longer. I want to live to be 140+...and have people wonder what the heck I did to live that long, and look this great!

Not his best

Would you try another book from Deepak Chopra and/or Deepak Chopra?

Yes

What could Deepak Chopra have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

He could have made the content less detailed

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Deepak Chopra?

John Hurt

What character would you cut from Grow Younger, Live Longer?

It doesn't have any

Any additional comments?

Too much information on nutrition

too long and boring

please please do not make the mistake of buying this audio book if you are in 20,s,30,or 40,s.. mr chopra repeats at least 100 times.."my biostat is set at a healthy 49 years of age".also it,s too long with unnessary words and the author sounds so bored while narrating that the listener gets irritated instead of motivated..i normally love deepak chopra,s books but this audio book really dissappointed me.it,s mostly repetition of his other books and ok if you like slow sleepy narratives.
