Drawing on the latest science of revolutionary biology, YOUNGER NEXT YEAR shows men fifty or older how they can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like energetic fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties. The secret? "Harry's Rules"---deceptively simple, highly motivational rules like exercise six days a week; eat what you know you should; connect to other people; and commit to feeling passionate about something. Bringing together the doctor behind "Harry's Rules" (Henry S.

Train for it, and you'll have a ball. The New York Times “One long, exuberant New Year’s resolution.” — The New York Times
