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.

Excellent information

I am a 43 year old physician and I found this book to be very informative, educational and motivational. I am recommending it to all of my friends and some patients. I am only giving it 3 stars because of the painful over the top reading of the parts for Chris Crowley. This book has co-authors and the person reading the Chris Crowley parts is so painful to listen to that I bought the book so I could read his portions of the book. The reader for Mr. Crowley is overly dramatic and ruined HIS portions of this book for me. However if you can get through the book, you will do yourself a big favor. The results are amazing.

Simple message well delivered

The story goes like that: an old guy goes to a doctor that says that he can get younger next year. And the old man believes, start doing exercise regularly, eating right and improves his life. The doctor explains the biological basis, the old man talks about the impact in his life. The story is fun to listen and both narrators are great. I started to recommend this book to my older patients.

wow...Thanks Chris and Harry!

Great guide for how to think and what to do as we get older. I read this book 5 years ago then again recently. A great guide and motivator. Will keep it on the play list and re-listen from time to time.

Excellently written and Outstanding story read!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Wow! Very fun to listen to. My friend read the book but he didn't get the gift of the read from the reader of the patient viewpoint. Hilarious writing but the reader was amazing in his delivery! Anyone will love this book!

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Inspiring to exercise 6 times a week!

Not Your Stereotypic Exercise & Diet Book

Crowley and Lodge should take this show on the road. They are that good!

This is the best narration of helpful material I have experienced as an Audible subscriber.

When humor and commonsense collide, learning takes place and I learned a lot from this listen. I espcially enjoyed the historical perspective of our ancestors strolling through the Savanah in Spring and how we can tap-into that energy in this hectic, stress-filled, super-sized 21st Century.

In short, this is a powerful, motivating, entertaining, and interesting listen. It will make you laugh . . . and think . . . and take action.
