About this product

Product Information

Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology class, you probably think you know a lot about the human body. While it's true that we live in an age when we're as obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy. Yes, you've owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do about your own body. When it comes to your longevity and quality of life, understanding your internal systems gives you the power, authority, and ability to live a healthier, younger, and better life. You: The Owner's Manual challenges your preconceived notions about how the human body works and ages, then takes you on a tour through all of the highways, back roads, and landmarks inside of you. After taking a quiz that tests your body of knowledge, you'll learn about all of your blood-pumping, food-digesting, and keys-remembering systems and organs. Just as important, you'll get the facts and advice you need to keep your body running long and strong. You'll find out how diseases start and how they affect your body -- as well as advice on how to prevent and beat conditions that threaten your quality of life. Complete with exercise tips, nutritional guidelines, simple lifestyle changes, and alternative approaches, You: The Owner's Manual gives you an easy, comprehensive, and life-changing how-to plan for fending off the gremlins of aging. To top it off, you'll also get the great-tasting and calorie-saving Owner's Manual Diet -- a thirty-recipe eating plan that's designed with only one goal in mind: to help you live a younger life. Welcome to your body. Why don't you come on in and take a look around?

Practical Health Advice + Biology 101
YOU: The Owner’s Manual is a good quick read – though it’s purpose is to help you improve your overall health through simple explanations of health concepts, it does a great job of providing a lesson in anatomy and sound health. Each chapter is dedicated different organ systems and parts of the body. Topics covered in detail include the cardiovascular system, brain, skeletal system, joints and muscles, lungs, the digestive system and sexual organs, the immune system, skin, and a separate section that discusses cancer. Think of this book as a primer on health. If you don’t enjoy most health books that espouse diets and feel like a step back to high school biology, you’ll appreciate this book. It is easy to read and its format reminds me of the ease of reading found in the Dummies book ...

It is easy to read and its format reminds me of the ease of reading found in the Dummies book series. After the basics are covered, the book moves into a lifestyle action plan that acts as an easy to follow guide to improve your health. It explains adjustments that you can make to your lifestyle in order to live a longer and much healthier life. Simple tips explain how you can stay abreast of your health and avoid the see-saw of dieting and exercise. I’m not a big fan of the diagrams and sketches in the book – it appears as if they were designed to appeal to a broad audience, but for most of us, such silly diagrams are unnecessary. Assuming you can look past that, I highly recommend this book as candidate for a cover-to-cover read and as a reference guide for your bookshelf.

You - The Owner's Manual is a must-read for everyone.
In an age where fad diets come and go faster than Hollywood celebrities change significant others, it is refreshing to find a book about taking care of YOU - as in helping your body live younger, healthier and maybe longer as a result. The authors of this book are doctors who were part of the team that treated President Clinton's recent heart condition. One of the authors also popularized the concept of calculating your "real" age (which, depending on lifestyle may be more or less than your calendar age). They're also Oprah favorites (they were guests on the show in May 2005, which is where I first discovered them). They wrote You as an "owner's manual" to help regular people better understand how what we eat and how we live impacts every single part of our lives. The book is written ...

They wrote You as an "owner's manual" to help regular people better understand how what we eat and how we live impacts every single part of our lives. The book is written in very plain English (OK, it's a little corny at times) and has lots of practical tips on how to gauge our health (e.g., you'll learn what your poop should look like and why that's important). You'll also learn how to protect the health of your heart, reduce the number of wrinkles you'll amass in a lifetime, and how increasing your tomato intake can decrease your risk of cancer and decrease arterial aging (hint, just 10 tablespoons of tomato sauce is equal in nutritional value to 165 raw tomatoes!!). From diagrams to illustrate their points to silly jokes that drive their point home, the authors make it extremely interesting to read and easily digestible (hehe, an example of the humor you might find in this book). In a nutshell, this book provides useful information on what foods/beverages to put into your body, how much sleep to get and how to monitor yourself in order to live younger and healthier. It is a book about living healthy - not about becoming model thin - so approach it with the desire to improve the overall you.

We need a book that covers this material
It's really difficult to review this book objectively. On the one hand, the subject is very important; we need to know how to look after our bodies; and there isn't much competition. So buy it. On the other hand, the presentation is terrible. It could be made half the length, and twice as readable, by leaving out most of the childish jokes. The diagrams could be made more useful and informative by leaving out the jokey elves (and some of the diagrams consist of nothing else). 50% of the book is good information. The other 50% is the message "We're doctors! So we're smart. You're not! So you're stupid", conveyed by the assumption that everything has to be dumbed down, and repeated on every page. The authors make little attempt to distinguish between material that is universally accepted ... It's really difficult to review this book objectively.

The authors make little attempt to distinguish between material that is universally accepted among qualified experts, and material that is controversial or open to question. For example, not every physician agrees that you should take 1000mg of vitamin C every day, or 162mg of aspirin every day if you're over 40. But these are presented as established facts, on a par with the advice to stop smoking or exercise regularly. We need a better book that covers the same basic material. Until one is published, make do with this one. If you're a physician, consider writing a better book. Millions of people want this information. Present it straight, and you'll blow "YOU: The Owner's Manual" out of the water.

Like Any Owners Manual, Don't Read It Cover to Cover
This is a good book, skillfully written by intelligent authors with senses of humor. It is full of common sense techniques to improve your health with the long term in mind. The authors clearly describe how each part of your body works and then, once you understand how things are working, give you a few simple methods to improve the functioning of every part of your body from your lungs to your heart to your bones. Like any owners manual, this book is a better reference than a cover to cover read. Although the authors make it a fun read with comics and humor, it can become really dry really fast if you try to plow through the entire book in less than a week. Also, I found most of the strategies offered in the book were geared towards the aging generation and may not be as useful to ...

Overall, a good reference to keep in your home. You'll keep coming back to it over and over again and you'll find yourself healthier and happier as you apply the principles of the book.

You can't go wrong with Dr OZ
I was looking for a simple, east to follow book that talks about how our bodies work with regard to how we take care of them. And, from watching Dr Oz on TV, he seems very easy to listen to and understand. Reading this book is wonderful. Just like on TV, Dr Oz (and also Dr Rozien, too) talk to us in very easy to understand language- no super difficult medical jargon is used at all. This book talks about all of the different body systems- how they function, what bad things can happen to them, and how to reverse the damage that has been done. I feel this book is actually better for a "weight loss" book than all the other fad diet books out there. I highly recommend this book to everybodyI was looking for a simple, east to follow book that talks about how our bodies work with regard to how we take care of them.
