All the money in the world doesn't mean a thing if we can't get out of bed. And the healthiest body in the world won't stay that way if we're frazzled about five figures worth of debt. Today Show financial correspondent Jean Chatzky and the Cleveland Clinic's chief wellness officer Dr. Michael Roizen explain the vital connection between health and wealth, giving readers the tactics, strategies, and know-how to live longer, healthier, more lucrative lives. The same principles that allow us to achieve a better body will allow us to do the same for our investment portfolio. For instance, physical and financial stability comes down to the same equation: Inflow versus outflow. Do we burn more calories than we ingest? Likewise, are we making more money than we spend? The authors detail ways to improve behavior so that the answers tilt in the readers' favor. They also offer ways to beat the system by automating how we do things and limiting our decisions in the face of too much food or too much debt.… (more)

Interesting, with a rehash of stuff that both of these authors have already written about before. ( )

Age-proof living longer without running out of money or breaking a hip.The title says it all. The premise of this book is that diet aging and finance are all intertwined. The idea makes a certain level of sense, but like most of the diet books I have read its the doing that's the hard part. The book is divded into five sections each elaborating on a different aspect of Jean Chatzky a TV financial guru and Dr Michael Roizen a well known doctor at the Cleveland Clinic's idea.Most of what is in the book is the same advice that they have given on their various TV appearances. The strength of the book is in its 1st part titled System Checks. This part gives the reader guideposts as to where they should be physically and financially. This book is full of self tests that force self examination. Fortunately the tests require no extra tech than a tape measure, a pencil and an active mind. The physical test will such things as how many push ups can you do in one minute, given your age, how many curls can you do. One test that surprised me was the simplest. Can you stand up from a chair without using your arms ? The financial self tests are a little harder requiring the reader to know their income and expenditures. The point of part one is to collect data so you can know where you stand and have the ability to measure progress. The weakest parts of the book is its definite bias toward married people. It assumes that the reader has a spouse as a key part of their support system. When it addresses insurance and financial needs there is no mention or thought of the peculiar needs of the single person. This is a good book and might be worth buying and is definitely worth getting from your library for test drive. It is available in both audiobook form and e-book form. ( )
