Summary: A Compelling, Cutting Edge Read
Review: As a former television news health reporter, and someone who is already achieving success building an organization of people who distribute high quality wellness products, I believe Pilzer's book will be compelling reading for baby boomers looking for improved physical and financial health. For those willing to work hard to establish a foothold in this industry, Pilzer offers compelling reasons why the rewards -- both physical and financial -- will be worth it.

Summary: Wellness insurance, the next big thing......
Review: Coming from the Health Insurance industry, I have a unique perspective on the things Paul is writing about in his book. I was impressed with the research he did on MSAs and High deductible insurance, and how by switching to these types of plans, most families can save a significant amount of money, with little or no increased exposure. Paul is giving away the secrets, that most insurance agents will not tell their clients.

Summary: An Informative Monster
Review: Don't make the mistake of reading the subtitle and thinking that this is merely one of those "get rich" books. This book is an informative monster. In other words, Pilzer pries back the cover on the food and medical industry and informs his reader of the "problems" and "dangers" which are occurring in these two industries. The scary thing about his research is the fact that the majority of the population is a victim and almost all are completely unaware of the dangers. In fact, Pilzer's research reveals 77 million people suffer from some form of overweight problem and 37 million people are clinically obese (which is detrimental to their health) and this, Pilzer reveals, is a result of two industries, perhaps accidentally working together, to move Americans (and other people of other countries) to this state or condition. All this is detailed and documented in the first half of this book. In the latter half of this book Pilzer discusses the mega movement which he calls the wellness movement or industry which he believes will become a Trillion dollar industry by 2010. Pilzer details what this wellness industry involves and how it has evolved over the last decade (1990-2000). This is a very informative book packed with well documented information. In fact, the book was recommended to me by someone in my own home-based business organization and I was a little skeptical to purchase it at first. But, having purchased and read it has confirmed to me what I was thinking all along these last few years, namely that the health and nutrition industry is just barely getting started and is about to literally explode into the next mega trend (especially for the baby boom generation). This book may seem like a fire cracker at first, but in a few years, time will reveal that it was actually an atomic bomb and it hit its target right on the bulls-eye.

Summary: Not much new here...save your money
Review: I agree with the other reviewer who said that the title of this book is calculated to mislead; there's little or nothing in this book that tells you how to make a fortune. It is a collection of widely available information about the terrible state of the American diet and how this has led to epidemic obesity and its resultant health problems. Fat people and aging baby-boomers who want eternal youth are going to spend big bucks on healthy food, health club memberships, dietary suplements, personal and mechanical trainers and you can cash in now. Am I missing something or has this well publicized trend already been going on for at least 10 years now? Given the misleading title, I frankly feel ...and wish I'd saved my money. Look for my used copy online soon....

Summary: Not much new here...save your money
Review: I did read the book cover to cover, in one evening. Although it was interesting reading, it did not do diddly-squat to tell me "How to Make a Fortune in the Next Trillion Dollar Industry." If you are looking for some history of the wellness industry laced with anecdotes, this is entertaining. If you are looking for useful information in choosing and running a business in the wellness industry, you might feel like you wasted your time. The "how to" part of the book is just about nonexistent.

Summary: This book is an eye opener
Review: I gotta admit, the author is a genious..
His explanation on how the food industry, healthcare industry & insurance industry works is remarkable. He clearly points out the mistake the industry and the government made. Unfortunately the people who got affected are individuals & small businesses. His vision of the future in medical & wellness industry is very compelling. His ideas on how to take advantage of this coming revolution is remarkable and achievable.

Summary: Terrible book from a pompous author
