Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology class, you probably think you know a lot about the human body. While it's true that we live in an age when we're as obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy. 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. 
You: The Owner's Manual challenges your preconceived notions about how the human body works and ages, then takes you on a tour through all of the highways, back roads, and landmarks inside of you. After taking a quiz that tests your body of knowledge, you'll learn about all of your blood-pumping, food-digesting, and keys-remembering systems and organs. 
 Just as important, you'll get the facts and advice you need to keep your body running long and strong. You'll find out how diseases start and how they affect your body -- as well as advice on how to prevent and beat conditions that threaten your quality of life. Complete with exercise tips, nutritional guidelines, simple lifestyle changes, and alternative approaches, You: The Owner's Manual gives you an easy, comprehensive, and life-changing how-to plan for fending off the gremlins of aging. To top it off, you'll also get the great-tasting and calorie-saving Owner's Manual Diet -- a thirty-recipe eating plan that's designed with only one goal in mind: to help you live a younger life. 
Welcome to your body. Why don't you come on in and take a look around?

Dr. Mehmet Oz, celebrated heart surgeon and co-founder of the Complementary Care Center at New York's Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, is spearheading the health-care revolution that is yielding powerful new healing tools that will forever change the way we think of medicine. In this ground-breaking book, he describes his pioneering work--combining cutting-edge Western medicine with such Eastern techniques as acupuncture and chi-gong, as well as such controversial therapies as hypnosis, music, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, and energy healing. The inspiring and affecting stories of his patients are the heart of this book--from the extraordinary discipline of Frank Torre, who used his professional sports training to "psych" himself into healing after heart transplant surgery, to the "impossible" recovery of blues great Johnny Copeland, who was roused from a seemingly impenetrable coma through the force of his own music. In recounting his patients' experiences, Dr. Oz forges a blueprint for the radical new medicine of the next millennium--drawing on the best from Eastern and Western therapies and empowering patients to become partners with doctors in promoting their own recovery.

YOU: Raising Your Child (The Owner's Manual from First Breath to First Grade)

We may not like to admit it, but we think about how we look every single day. Many times a day. When we step out of the shower. When we pass a mirror or a storefront window. When we see an actress on the TV screen. How we look to ourselves and how we appear to the world around us is important to us. It's often on our minds.And that's OK. While it may seem a little superficial, it's really just part of being human. Scientists say that our innate drive to look attractive, fit, and healthy is rooted in our DNA. And that makes complete sense. When you look good outside, you feel good inside. When you feel good inside and out, your body is healthier. A healthier, more attractive body is one that performs better in all aspects of life, including on the job and in relationships. And consider this: A fit and healthy body is actually biologically younger than one that's flabby and out of shape, as co-author Dr. Michael F. Roizen has demonstrated in his books and website RealAge.com.So, here's a question forYOU: What are you going to do this year to change how you look, feel, and live for the better? You have the power to do it within you. Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz have the tools to help you along this path and make it both fun and easy.
