Look Younger, Live Longer: Add 25 to 50 Years to Your Life, Naturally
Goldberg, a hypnotherapist, author, and retired dentist, offers a longevity manual with an emphasis on techniques to change one's perceptions and beliefs about aging. In part 1, Goldberg reviews the theories of aging, supported by references to the literature. Part 2 outlines detailed dietary, exercise, behavioral, and lifestyle changes that can preserve a youthful body and mind. All suggestions are common to most alternative health books and are low in cost and relatively simple to follow. The focus of part 2 is the chapter on self-hypnosis, a way of relaxing and setting aside the conscious mind to activate the subconscious mind, usually with suggestions to make desired changes. Step-by-step instructions and scripts are given for helping such conditions as insomnia, anxiety, pain, and the lack of self-confidence. The chapter ends with special self-hypnosis techniques for visual imagery and for specifically slowing down the aging process.Penny Spokes
