The 100 Year Lifestyle: Dr. Plasker's Breakthrough Solution for Living Your Best Life - Every Day of Your Life! »

Eric Plasker, D.C., inspires his patients and the public alike to realize "a long life, well-lived." A graduate of Life Chiropractic College and former owner of two highly successful family practices, Dr. Plasker is the founder of the Council on Family Wellness for the World Chiropractic Alliance. Featured on the Discovery Channel's Forever Young and Connecting With Kids television network, he's shared the stage with such luminaries as Dr. Barbara De Angelis, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Dr. Andrew Weil. He's sold more than half a million copies of his health and wellness guides, audiotapes, CDs, DVDs, and related materials, which have been translated and distributed in more than fourteen countries. In just five years, Dr. Plasker's wellness messages and products have reached nearly one million people around the world. He lives in Atlanta, GA.

If you knew you'd live to be 100, how would you change your life?

You're probably thinking: There's no way I'm going to live to 100. I'm not sure I want to live that long, even if I could. But odds are, you will. And, while your parents and grandparents may have been blindsided by their longevity--and suffered for it--that doesn't have to happen to you. Aging can be a good thing--the opportunity to realize all of your dreams and establish a remarkable legacy--if you prepare for it.

Based on Dr. Plasker's bestselling wellness system, The 100-Year Lifestyle reveals the secret to making the most of your extended lifespan. It gives you all you need to enjoy the highest quality of life as you age in years--without aging in body and mind. Your centennial is in reach with Dr. Plasker's ideas and methods for diet, nutrition, exercise, mental agility, creativity, finances, friends and family, work, community, and achieving a sense of purpose.

Dr. Plasker's unique program for optimum health and happiness offers you the opportunity to customize your new 100-Year Lifestyle with:

• Your 100-Year Lifestyle Assessment

Deborah Bigelow - Library Journal

Wellness expert and chiropractor Plasker shows that by combining the right attitude with the right actions growing older can be full of excitement and opportunity. As one might imagine, the author covers the usual bases of getting enough sleep, exercising, and eating healthy foods. He acknowledges the role of heredity in major diseases but maintains people can do more in the area of prevention and control in their external environment. While the information is not new, his reminders to change one choice at a time can encourage the most reluctant reader to undertake a few life-enhancing behaviors. Recommended for larger libraries.
