by Andrew Weil (Foreword), Len Sherman, Canyon Ranch

Examining everything from your sleep schedule to daily fitness, this book's aim is for you to feel your best in every respect.

Inspirational stories are plentiful, leaving you with a feeling that success is just around the corner. Insisting there is no ideal weight, the food chapters end with the request for you to "go out there and be reasonable," which is excellent advice for us all. The introduction offers three ways to use the book to achieve the particular goals of weight loss, stress management, and cardiovascular health--if one of these goals is your priority, use the specific chapter recommendations rather than reading the book straight through. Every chapter stands beautifully on its own, and taken as a whole, The Canyon Ranch Guide to Living Younger Longer might just change your life.

Health and Healing
by Andrew T. Weil
Why do we get sick? How do we get well? How do we avoid getting sick again? Dr. Andrew Weil attempts to answer these fundamental questions in Health and Healing, but the real joy of the book isn't in learning the answers, but in following his mind down the path to an answer.
He starts with homeopathy, a treatment that, to an outsider, seems more like a leap of faith than an actual system of healing. Weil recounts how homeopathy cured--completely cured--an annoying intestinal problem he suffered. Then he discusses the principles and history of this type of treatment, including the surprising ways in which homeopathy has affected the course of modern medicine. Finally, he gets to the real question: does homeopathy work or is it simply a placebo effect? The only reasonable answer is "maybe," but accompanying Weil as he gets to that answer is a fascinating experience.
One of the strongest points made in this book is that "perfect health" is simply unattainable. We're all going to feel bad sometimes. Another is that the body eventually heals most of its injuries, illnesses, and infections--up to 90 percent of them, by some estimates. But it's the other 10 percent that raise havoc. Weil, trained as a medical doctor, believes that conventional medicine is great at handling trauma and sudden, life-threatening conditions like heart attacks, but it's less good at dealing with chronic conditions like arthritis. Health and Healing examines the strengths and weaknesses of both conventional and alternative medicine, and offers a roadmap to determine which is best for what ails you.
