Summary: Fabulous and good for those who don't have time to cook
Review: Dr. Taylor provides a simple presentation of the fundamentals of metabolism combined with sexuality. For those who come from different walks of life, her program is adaptable. It is for those who want to take charge of their health. What I liked most is it is authentic offering clear difinitive ways that people can restore their vitality. This is definitely material for Oporah. I hope we see Dr. Taylor in the media. Her message supports the health and welfare of humanity. Three cheers to Dr. Susan Taylor. You have helped me change my life. I will pass your book on to others.

Summary: What many books promise--this one delivers
Review: I love the integration of East and West. The best of all possibilies. The passion and energy of this author is apparent on every page. And to meet her was further reinforcement that she practices what she teaches. A must for very woman (or man) of any age.

Summary: Great Advice if You Have the Time and Money
Review: Susan Taylor's very readable and engaging book makes some very good points, but as with many books of its type, successful practitioners of everything she advocates would need to fit the profile of her anecdotal cases - who all seem to be actors, opera singers, etc. That is, women in glamor professions with very flexible hours and plenty of money, not to mention leisure for endless self-focus. As a single working woman of average income (and a one-hour lunch break), I don't have TIME for her elaborate meal preparations, especially at lunch, or the money to afford the multitude of ingredients. (With the recent citrus freeze, her fruit shake recipes alone make for a $5 breakfast.) And if it's hard enough for a single woman, how many married women or women with children have time to toast their own oats for breakfast? Sounds like a Martha Stewart parody. I started trying to follow the plan, but I can see I won't make it until the next payday. Home-made falafil for lunch? Wouldn't it be nice. And who eats the rest of the four cups of chickpeas, since the recipe plan changes daily? As for never eating after 7 p.m., I rarely make it HOME before 6:45! Just once I'd like to read a book of health recommendations NOT written for the leisured upper middle class - a book that acknowledges that affording vitamins can sometimes be a problem, and that it's NOT "simple" to track down all of this rotating fresh produce. As for Taylor's book, I'd like to see the recipes re-written as single portions - OR an acknowledgement that this one serves 4 (at least, I can't believe that two pounds each of three leafy vegetables is a single serving!). In other words, a tiny dose of reality to go with the pep talk and the illustrations that reinforce the idea that sexual love is for the physically perfect (or maybe that's her point).
