Secrets of the Superyoung: The Scientific Reasons Some People Look Ten Years Younger Than They Really Are--and how You Can, Too

Front Cover
From the authors of "Eccentrics" comes a study of age-defying people the world over, revealing ways to look and feel younger.

You're at your 25-year high school reunion and, of course, almost everyone looks older, rounder, and a bit wrinkled. But there are a few enviable exceptions who are smooth-skinned, lithe, and energetic. Who are those people? Why do they look and feel so much younger? And, most important, what are they doing that you're not? According to Dr. David Weeks, who draws from 18 years of scientific research, these men and women are the 'superyoung' -- people who, on average, appear 10 or more years younger than their actual age.

In addition to looking youthful, these extraordinary people share a host of similar characteristics, including keen minds, better sex lives, and more energy. More than just a study of this desirable group, "Secrets of the Superyoung" offers prescriptive lessons -- such as tips on how to improve your memory, diet, and fitness program -- so that you can reduce the signs of aging with a healthier mind and body. Filled with case studies, quizzes, and exclusive interviews, "Secrets of the Superyoung" paves a clear path to staying younger in body and mind.
