A must read. Practical and fascinating. It changed my view on health and self care.
Once I opened the first page of this book I could hardly stop reading it. It is as deep and practical as it is easy to read. It gave me the most valuable knowledge on Indian Ayurvedic medicine, a deeper understanding of my body type, and how to use -- in daily life -- simple techniques and the appropriate food to keep or recover health ... I strongly recommed this book to anyone willing to either recover or keep a good mind-body health.
Excellent complimentary medicine
Dr. Deepak Chopra is one of the worlds foremost authoroties on the link between traditional Western medicine and complimentary medicine based on Ayurvedic principals, at least in my mind. I may be biased here, since I have read and listened to much of Dr. Chopra's work and utilized in my life in many ways. Perfect Health was the first book I read by Chopra and it edged me on in my search for this state we call "perfect health".
Deceptive Title
This was a good read if you want to learn about the Ayurvedic health principles.If that is what you are looking for, then this is the book for you.My disappointment was in the title.I expected more of Quantum Healing.I still plan on reading more Deepak, but wish I had known that this book was strictly Ayurvedic methodology only. ...

brilliant
at a moment in my life when things seemed unsurmountable this book pulled me through.

Superlative.
I recommend it highly to everyone...especially the seekers of truth and the people on the early path to spirituality.

Something very different
This book was very interesting.It challenges you to think outside the box of conventional "wisdom".Once you allow for the possibility that what we as a civilization are programmed to believe is not beyond reproah, there is some powerful and empowering concepts.Chopra writes in a cerebral way; therefore you have to be in the right mind set to enjoy this.If you aren't it is easy to lose him in some chapters. ...

Practical and Insightful
Rarely does a book do such a good job informing the reader in a way that can change lives. John Gray helps the reader understand there are inevitable differences between men and women and the key to success in relationships is to understand and navigate those differences rather than to try and change or ignore them. I also highly recommend Men in Marriage: Straight Talk For Men About Marriage: What Men Need to Know About Marriage (And What Women Need to Know About Men)by Marty Friedman.
Saved our marriage.. literally
My wife and I divorced in 1995. We were apart for two years. Situations in our life kept bringing us back together to deal with children. Eventually we decided to try to put our marriage back together so we went to Christian counseling. Our counselor had us read this book. Time after time my jaw would drop open while reading. My wife said the same thing. I remember saying, "She isn't crazy afterall. Our differences are normal." Both our eyes were opened allowing us to accept our differences without feeling the other one did not care of love the other. This book along with our desire to do God's will was the basis for our putting our marriage back together. We remarried after 2-1/2 years apart. That was six years ago. I buy this book regularly to give to couples old and young alike. It is a Godsend for a society too quick to divorce and too misunderstanding of one another.

NOT UP TO STANDARD
I HAVE BEEN SOMERSIZING FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS AND HAVE ENJOYED THE FOOD RECIPES IN SUZANNE SOMERS 3 BOOKS, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THIS DESSERT BOOK.SO FAR I HAVE LOST 10 LBS AND AM LOVING THE RESULTS WITHOUT STARVING MYSELF.HER PROGRAM IS TRUELY A WAY TO LIVE BY.YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE HER PRODUCTS, BECAUSE SHE GIVES YOU MOST OF THE RECIPES IN HER BOOKS, I LIKE THAT!THIS DESSERT BOOK DID FALL SHORT THOUGH COMPARED TO THE OTHER WONDERFUL BOOKS.I HAVE TRIED THE CHEESECAKE WHICH IS OK, BUT WHEN YOUR EARLY ON HAVING THE SUGAR CRAVINGS IT LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED, I SUFFERD THROUGH.WE ALSO TRIED THE ICE CREAM AND THE PREVIOUS REVIEW IS EXACTLY RIGHT, THE SOMERSWEET MAKES THE ICE CREAM HARD AS A ROCK, IT WASNT VERY GOOD.I HAVE YET TO TRY ANY OTHER RECIPES.THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY LOOK MORE LIKE THE DESSERTS I AM USED TO ARE ON LEVEL 2, SO I GUESS WE JUST HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH.I HAVE MADE A GOOD MOUSSE DESSERT USING SUGAR FREE CHOC PUDDING AND CREAM, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE AN ALMOST LEVEL ONE.I PERSONALLY WOULDNT WASTE THE $ ON THIS BOOK.

Great with a little help.
I have tried a couple of desserts and they worked great. I used Splenda as sweetner with no problem. I also substituted lower fat dairy products. I love this book.

Great for those who know what they want!
This book is great for those who know what they want, that is, desserts that fit into their Somersizing way of eating, as well as a love for baking.If you have given up sugar and are no longer craving the sickening sweet things you previously ate, then these recipes are perfect.The creme brulee is rich and creamy and just sweet enough.After all, aren't we supposed to be adjusting to a healthier lifestyle?If what you want is a rich ice cream sundae that makes your teeth ache, then this book isn't for you.But if you have given up sweets, and find the sweetness of natural fruit to be sweet enough and have a love of baking and cooking, then these recipes will do the trick.My family loved them, too. ...

Very helpful!
As a woman who breastfed eight children (including her adopted child!) Martha Sears is exactly the sort of person you want writing books about breastfeeding. Her tone is loving and gentle while still offering a wealth of information and troubleshooting tips. Like most women I know, I found breastfeeding to be much more complicated and difficult at first than I'd anticipated. The first couple weeks were rough for me and I give much credit to this book (as well as my lactation consultant) for getting me through.

Excellent Resource for Any New Mom!!!
I used this book as a reference when nursing my own children, now give the book as a gift to my friends and relatives who are expecting a baby.
Hurt More Than It Helped
I was given this book as a gift and was eager to exclusively breastfeed my baby.The first few days after we got home from the hospital, however, things were not working right.I fed and fed him, yet he never seemed satisfied.I scoured The Breastfeeding Book for information about low production levels, and basically all it said was that it is rare and not to worry about it--just breastfeed frequestly and your supply will increase.I did just that, yet my supply never increased.My baby was so hungry and I was frantic and felt completely inadequate!This book basically implied that giving your baby any formula is just short of child abuse and breastfeeding is the only option, no matter what.Thank goodness a lactation consultant finally worked with us, determined that, in fact, my supply was too low for my baby, and recommended I supplement with formula.My baby was so happy after that, my supply actually increased after I started supplementing, and we are still doing a combination 4 months later.There is no way we would have stuck with it this long if I had followed the advice of this book and just breastfed.I give this book one star because, although there is some useful information, it makes moms feel like failures if they can't or don't want to breastfeed for a year or more.Being a mom is so much more than how you feed your baby! ...

Easy to read and useful!
It is the one of the best. It is more used for general fitness than serious weight lifter. Usually, it takes a few months to notice result in weight training, as such, it is important to keep a training log. For convenient and substainable motivation, I have used my mobile phone as a log from [...] in the gym.
Easy to understand.
What do you do when you've just been hired by a client who hasn't exercised in 26 years, or someone who has just been cleared by their docotor to workout? Well, the knowledge that I have is helpful, but sometimes you need to have the basic knowledge laid infront of you....and you kind of pick up whats really important.
Could have been much better
I have started going to gym recently. Some questions always bothered me- should I go for fat burning/ cardio? What does target heart rate mean? Should I start lifting the weights or concentrate on running/walking? What should I do to avoid soar muscles the next day? I see different equipments here, which one corresponds to which muscle building? Why strecthing/cool down procedure is important? and list goes on. This book has answered most of the my questions in a simple informative way than any other book I found at borders book store. But the book is certainly not a complete one. For example, the streching exercises given mainly concentrate on upper body. IMHO, the streching exercises are not very elegant for a people in thier mid 20s. I felt that the book could have avoided certain supplementary details. For instance, I dont see why author should talk SO much about the forms ecto, endo & meso. Overall, the shallowness of issues is fine from a beginners point of view but the breadth of the topics to be covered could have been greater. ... Read more

The Nuts and Bolts of How to Eat and What to Eat Low Carb
If you don't need or want the science behind "Protein Power" or low carb eating, if you want to eat Low Carb healthy, then this is THE book to get. It's become my bible for low carbing as a way of life.
Good-but lots of room for improvement
The recipe index is not very well organized, and the book has several editing errors, but other than that: The 30 day meal plan is good, which is why I bought it, but (like a lot of other books) meal plans should keep the user in mind. Most people on a M-F schedule would prefer the Power Smoothie and Yogurt Cup recipes on a workday and the more time intensive Veggie Frittata and Lighter-than-air-Pancakes on Saturday and Sunday. Low carb and low maintenance
To the writer who is looking for an inspirational story from one who lost...I started the 30 day diet plan on December 1st and have already lost 10 lbs - and this was during the holiday season!I found the 30 day plan easy to follow and easy to stick with. As a carb lover, I thought it would be impossible to give up pasta and potatoes, but the easy-to-make breakfasts and dinners leave me feeling satisfied and hence, no sugar cravings. Not only did I (finally) lose weight after being disappointed with Weight Watchers and low-fat diets, but I'm eating healthier which is the crux of this book.Read more

A Great Health Book
Marilu gives 10 steps to improving your health which some people may feel are radical. However, after trying out at least half of the steps, I am feeling more energized and healthier. If you are tired, or overweight, or just feel blah, this book is for you. It challenges the way you think about different food groups (dairy, meat, sugar) and will help lead you to a new lifestyle.
Great Advice!!!
I was a little hesitant about buying a health book from an actress but I like Marilu and she seems like she know what she's talking about. The advice she gives makes sense. I was looking for a reason to give up dairy and this book was perfect. She gives 10 tips to make over your health. I'm doing one by one. First thing I did was I stopped drinking liquids with my food. I instantly noticed the difference. I was way more regular!! The next step was I gave up dairy. I lost about 12 pounds just by doing that. I used to have ice cream EVERY DAY!! And I just noticed yesterday that I no longer crave sweets. I'm still working on giving up caffeine, but like I said, one step at a time. I strongly recommend this book!! Giving up dairy is HARD! I'm a vegetarianso a lot of my foods included cheese, yogurt, and creams. Its a lot harder now, but I feel so much better! Its worth it! I just recently got a physical and am eagerly awaiting the results. This book is so cheap you wont lose anything except weight! I hope this helps you!

Overall Most Helpful Book I Have EVER Read!!!
I first read Marilu's book in early 2001.Within 10 months of implementing some of Marilu's suggestions, I lowered my cholesterol from 219 to 121, went from 139 lbs to 112 lbs (I'm 5'2"), got rid of my daily sore throat I had for years, lessened the number of headaches I had, and boosted my energy and joy for life tremendously!!I also finally had the courage to leave a job that affected my life outside of work because it was so stressful.I never looked back!!People who hadn't seen me in a while wondered how my face (and my belly) got so thin because I had always carried around a little extra "baby fat" no matter how thin I was before.I attribute it to letting go of dairy.

not what I expected
It's nothing but an exercise book. I don't need a book to know that exercise is good for me. I'm not sure what I expected but this book wasn't it.

A totally new book, and it really works!
I had bought the original Fit or Fat book many years ago, and may have been the only person on the planet who didn't know that Covert Bailey continued to write new books. I bought this one recently, and discovered it is an entirely new book. The basic premise is still there, but everything else is new, like pulling into your driveway and finding anew, bigger house with more rooms on the old foundation. There is lots of additional information, and even the old jokes and illustrations have been replaced by new ones. Some reviewers are apparently annoyed that Covert does not endorse their pet ideas or theories on fitness, but the bottom line is that this book works. I lost fat with the first book before changes in my schedule caused me to neglect exercising for several years -- well, that's lame my excuse anyway. Then I decided to get serious again, and bought the new "ultimate" book and applied it (including wind sprints and weight lifting) and began losing fat again within weeks, and people are noticing! This book is my coach now, and I'm glad I discovered it. I do wish metric equivalents were included (we don't have pounds, inches, or miles where I live) but I can make the conversions easily enough myself.

very practical and understandable
Ultimate Fit and Fat is an easy and quick read.Just as he did in his earlier book Smart Exercise, Bailey discusses the importance of exercising over dieting in improving and maintaining one's fitness. The recommendations that he makes regarding exercise are practical and easy to implement. I would strongly recommend this book to people who would like to improve their fitness AND understand the process of improving their health. ... Read more

The Way of the Wizard
I read this book every year. It was published in 1995 - andI've read it cover to cover 10 times and referred to it dozens of times more for inspiration. It's thrilling to discover that you are a wizard - powerful, brilliant, a universal citizen with the ability (and responsibility) to heal your own heart and the heart of the planet. If you believe, as I do, in magic and our co-creator status, you will love this book too. It inspires, motivates, educates and reassures mind, heart and soul of our sacred purpose. I think Deepak Chopra is brilliant and this book was a giant step for me on my spiritual path.
Very thought-provoking
Deepak Chopra has been on Oprah many times. He is Indian and this book is one of many he has written with a metaphysical or New Age philosophy. Each chapter contains one lesson and begins with a story involving a young boy, Arthur, and a wise old wizard, Merlin. The rest of the chapter explains the lesson learned by the young wizard. For instance, talking about transformation, or making changes in one's life: "You cannot bring your same stale self to the world and expect the world to be new for you." ... Read more

Empathy inLeadership and Management
More "sound advice" from the autor of "Sever Habits of Highly Effective People". Quite a few (at least semi) practical advices in this book - building on the priveate and public victories. I think Covey once more prooved his ability to put this into a leadership perspective. Althoug it may not be absolutely necessary to read The Sever Habits in advance, it undoubtedly would be an advantage .
Excellent, but redundant on many points
This follow up book to the SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE (Covey), repeats a lot of the same ideas in this title.However, it applies the ideas in a slightly different way and is a useful read who want to enforce the difficult to develop seven habits and apply them on an organizational level.

The Ten Commitments
Much needed in our changing views of the old Biblical Laws. It points out how we have choices. We can grow up and take responsibility for our own healing and the healing of each other.

Inspirational Message
The foundational principals of the Ten Commandments have shaped societies for thousands of years.The Ten Commitments reinforces theses enduring tenets andprovides a new perspective that inspires one to make better choices about every day living.This is a must read.

Like the divine source from which they came, these laws are eternal
Well-written and easy to follow, David Simon brings us The Ten Commandments -- The spectacular recreation of the story of Moses. Unlike man's law, nearly 3,000 years ago, Moses was handed God's law, the Ten Commandments. They are the expressions of the mind of God for his creations--they are the charter and guide of humanity, for there can be no humanity without the law. The Ten Commandments are as modern today as when they were first handed to Moses on Sinai since the struggle between the forces represented by Moses and those represented by Pharaoh is still being waged today.

SUPERB!
I have worked with a nutritionist several times in the past. This book summarizes everything the nutritionist told me AND MORE! Awesome !!!
Some people just don't get it. This book is not just about dieting, but improving your life and living healthy. Like Marilu said "Everything is connected to Everything". I never believed in this theory, but after reading the book.. I have definitely changed my mind. Assertions Without Facts
I don't object to what the author says so much as what she leaves out.She makes many assertions, but usually fails to give support or references for them.I would find her much more convincing if, instead of saying "Milk is toxic sludge that only cows should eat! YUCK!" (paraphrasing here, sorry) she would list some of the studies that have proved this to be true.I could even like the "YUCK!" if she had any proof of the fact behind it. While I admire her attempt to change the standard American diet, I found this book to be, frankly, something of an insult to my intelligence.Read more

Understanding food groups
For the first time I've been able to read and understand a book on eating healthy! The author breaks down the related food groups and explains in simple terms how they affect your body and how you can gain control of this process. The book is not a receipt book of uneatable health foods, but an explanation of what food groups will benifit your body and which do not. It allows YOU to make the choice.
Incredible!
I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Weil. My husband got us on to this by listening to the book on tape. We were so fascinated with it all, that we bought the book and three more to give to family. My husband has lost 10 lbs in about 2 weeks and I've lost about 20 in the last 4 months. We had no idea just what we were eating! Now our three year old is getting on board and eating more of her vegetables. It's just a matter of getting educated and learning what your really doing to your body. Once you read this book - get ready - because your now too educated to put the same things in to your body that you once thought were the norm. We look better, our skin is clearer and more glowing, my husband can see his abs again :) and the biggest thing is that my husband is now off of Nexium after changing his eating habits. He has been on it for the last year, and has taken heartburn medicine for the last 10 years. He's been off of Nexium for 3 weeks now and feels great! Kudos to Dr. Weil!!!

Excellent information on diet that anyone can follow
I was educated as a biochemist and worked in the pharmaceutical doing medical research at one time.What always amazed me about hospitals is that they didn't pay very much attention to the importance of good food in a similar way that the food industry doesn't always seem to pay attention to food's relation to health.This book illuminates some important principles of eating that are reasonable, realistic to follow and not necessarily widely known.This is a good thing in a world where this topic is often neglected.

After trying every diet program imaginable--from Atkins to Optifast--media giant and self-confessed junk-food junkie Oprah Winfrey met personal trainer and exercise physiologist Bob Greene. The rest is talk-show history. (Who can forget seeing Oprah wheeling that wagon of fat onstage?) Instead of fad diets, fasts, and quick fixes, Greene taught Oprah how to eat right and exercise regularly. He helped her lose more than 70 pounds and changed her life forever.Read more

Great workout book and tape set
I bought this on sale about 5 years ago, I also own the tapes. They are excellent, both the workout book and/or the tapes.They help motivate you. I love them!

Bob Greene - Make the Connection
Absolutely loved this book and finished reading in record time.It was inspiring and insightful.I am following the recommendations and am starting to see results after several years of stalled success.I would recommend this book to anyone looking to make some positive, permanent healthy changes in their life.

Make the Connection
In this book, I learned about eating breakfast to get my metabolism going, how much water to drink and how much exercise was appropriate for me to lose weight. I went on to lose 100 lbs. permanently and have written an e-Book called Live Lightly!

Eat great with no guilt
In order for this book to make sense you need to read Dr. Ornish's other book (Eat More, Weigh Less).This book is full of great food that is simple to prepare and very healthy.You won't miss the stuff you leave out.

It works.90 pounds worth for me
Ah.Poor soul below me. Don't eat this or that. How about just plain good food and eat all you want of that?
Transformed my "Meat and Potatoes" husband!
I checked this book out from the library after seeing the auther on "Oprah."I don't have heart disease, but I am always looking for more healthful ways of cooking.My husband was very skeptical about eating vegetarian.He has loved everything that I have made from this book.Now when we menu plan for the week, he goes through and picks three or four things from the book!Everything is easy to make and there are not a whole lot of strange ingredients like some other vegetarian cookbooks. ...
