A pioneer of alternative medicine, Chopra is the author of 25 books, including the international best seller Las siete leyes espirituales del xito (Seven Laws for Spiritual Success, Edaf, 2000), where he combines physics, Eastern wisdom, and Western science to reevaluate the common definition of health. Here, he teams up with fellow author Simon to provide a 10-step guide to rejuvenation based on the belief that individuals can actively influence their health and well-being. Ten weeks, they claim, is enough time for a person to follow the steps and transform his/her diet, rest and exercise habits, toxin and vitamin intake, creativity, love, and perception of his/her body. The chapters start with a brief list of suggestions for accomplishing each step and continue with meaningful but easy-to-read instructions. Interesting visual aids, such as the famed illustration that can be seen as either an old woman or a young one, prove that there are different ways to perceive the same thing. It would have been better, however, to use photographs rather than illustrations to depict yoga and muscle-strengthening exercises, as improper postures can injure beginners. Chopra and Simon also provide lists of dietary supplements, their functions, and their sources, as well as a list of healthy Thai, Italian, Chinese, American, Mexican, and French recipes designed to reverse aging. Even if it doesn't keep its promise of taking 15 years from one's age, this well-researched guide will surely improve the health and well-being of readers. Highly recommended for public libraries and bookstores serving middle-aged and elderly Hispanic communities. Carmen Ospina, "Criticas" Copyright 2002 Cahners BusinessInformation.
