Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Insighful and Extremely Helpful!
Review: Not only does this guide give extremely helpful ways and tips to improve your health significantly, but the author's use of prose is remarkable and captivates the reader. Furthurmore, the exercise models and pictures are well placed and are invaluable to this mastery of literature.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Healing Power of Dr. Linn Goldbeg: Why i am so moved.
Review: Once in a great while a book so powerful comes along that it moves our lives in a new direction and reinvigerates us towards action. Dr. Goldberg's book is just such an example. With fluid use of language and stunning insights into what we can do better as humans, along with usefully displayed examples with true models, Golberg shows us how to conquer the obstacles that have become the bain of 21st century American existence: disease riddled lives due to the inactivity and complacency that surrounds modern humanity. This monument of a work clearly puts Goldberg in the small group of modern American doctors such as Dr. Ruth, C. Everett Koop, and Dr. Dolittle that have had such a surprisingly significant impact on everyday life while coming at their topic from the field of medicine. I praise this giant piece of work and the equally large man and his effort that went forth towards its' creation. God Bless Linn Goldberg. Cheers.

Summary: Not Bad.....BUT.........
Review: This book was OK but I have a few complaints that really bothered me. First, it's written in almost too easy to read language (5th grade-ish). Second, some of the illustrations are laughable (lifting soupcans). Third, the references to training programs that coincide with cars (SUV training, Truck training...). Fourth, too many stories about Joe So-and-so (who did this and that) to illustrate points.

From chapter 3 up until the chapter titled, "Your Exercise Prescription" I was pleased, but the points I mentioned leave a somewhat bad taste in my mouth.
