Yes, you’ve owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do about your own body. When it comes to your longevity and quality of life, understanding your internal systems gives you the power, authority, and ability to live a healthier, younger, and better life.

this book is very similiar to many of his books. This book discusses much of his life. His second book is much better if you are interested in true profiling.

Customer Review: modern day macrobiotics
I found this book very informative and useful. It not only explains macrobiotics, it makes it easy to impliment this eating plan. Also, nice to look at.
Customer Review: great book
This book is a fabulous book , i highly recommend it. First off, it is beautifully laid out with the pictures and design. The book explains macrobiotics– theory and diet, very well. Also, the recipes in the back section were great. I have made a few already. One of the best sections discusses how to be more efficient in macrobiotic cooking and meal preparation. When i first started with macrobiotics, i was spending a couple hours a day in the kitchen, but the advice given in the book has really helped me streamline my menus and time. I could not recommend this book more highly than i do!
