YOU: Being Beautiful: The Owner's Manual to Inner and Outer Beauty

Editorial Review

Most people think that beauty revolves around all those things that we can see in the mirror. But the fact is that beauty isn't some superficial pursuit. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz explain how beauty is really about your health and happiness. Busting the myths about how we view ourselves, they take a scientific, informative, and entertaining look at how the three levels of beauty work together to form a complete, and authentic YOU:

· Looking Beautiful: Your appearance influences your health and self-esteem; here, the docs will tell you how you can look the way you want.

· Feeling Beautiful: The docs will tell you how to improve your energy levels, beat back your life-altering aches and pains, and help you come to grips with some of life's toughest stresses.

· Being Beautiful: By improving your relationships with your loved ones as well as with others, you'll be well on your way to finding true happiness.

With their usual candor and honesty, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz break down the mechanics of beauty and explain how little adjustments in your routine can help you become a happier, healthier person. Navigating the tricky but exciting terrain of today's beauty industry, they reveal how different foods, vitamins, creams, gels, and injections can really boost your looks. They'll also take a close look at chronic pain, mood swings, low energy, and financial stresses. And they'll dive into the science of building relationships, finding happiness, and using spirituality to help you define your own levels of true beauty. Also included in a printable PDF file is the YOU-Q TEST, which will help identify ways to become happier and more satisfied with yourself and your life.

• Looking, Feeling, and Being Beautiful
  If you've read a lot of the other "YOU" books, you're probably thinking what I'm thinking, "When are these guys going to run out of ideas?" Well, they haven't yet, and unlike a lot of sequels, this one's not half bad.
  So what's the point of this book- to just look beautiful? Well, not exactly. While looking beautiful is definitely covered in the book, the authors want to make it clear that real beauty isn't just "skin deep". As far as they're concerned, there are three "levels" of beauty. They are:more info
• Not very informative
  I have to agree with many of the reviewers that indicate the information is extremely basic and the illustrations rarely add much, if any, value to the discussion. Since the target audience is probably women in the 35-55 range, the tone and silly cartoons would be more appropriate for a preteen target audience. I find the tone of the book patronizing at best, insulting at worst. I purchased this book after hearing Dr. Roizen interviewed on the radio. He indicated there were certain ingredients in soap and... more info
• I Had To Return It
  Please know that I do not give one star reviews lightly. I had high hopes for this book and I was very excited to purchase it. However, this book completely missed the mark.
  Now the first thing I am going to mention I believe has been mentioned before, but it is worth repeating. The illustrations. They are awful. I believe the look of a book sets the tone for the content. Why on earth would someone write a book about being beautiful and have such hideous illustrations?
  The next thing I realized... more info
• Utterly Useless
  This book is truly awful. The information is insultingly over-simplified. Most of it is stuff that we already know from high school science class and general existence. It contains tons basic personal care instructions that anyone living in this country already knows (brush your teeth, wash your face, etc.). I bought this book hoping to find information like what to eat for strong hair, clear skin, etc. This book doesn't teach that, and it doesn't tell me anything I (and you) don't already know.
