USER REVIEWS
"This book carries practical advice, as well as structured suggestions, for making changes to improve over-all health. Exercise, diet, and breathing elements are covered. This book helped me deal with anxiety attacks without prescription medications. By following his advise, my general health improved noticeably in just one month. I still follow the overall plan, 6 years later!"

"This book is a very good first book to read if you are interested in becoming healthier. I like Dr. Weil's suggestions because he focuses on getting and remaining healthy rather than on getting well after getting sick. I have read a number of Dr. Weil's books, which are all excellent, but this is the one I recommend if you have not yet read any of his books."
