Entrepreneur, founder of multiple health organizations (Cooperative Health and Prostate Cancer Inst.), and health writer Cooper brings his expertise to this how-to book on men's health after 40. The chapters are extensive, covering testosterone, nutrition, exercise (including workout programs), sexual fitness, and mental health. In the tradition of other fitness and health books, he has gathered from personal and professional experience tips that are adaptable for most men. Cooper quickly sets a tone for the book, saying it's not about getting ripped abs, it's about becoming healthy; it's also recognizing that not all men are the same or have the same health needs. Cooper is honest about the limits to his understanding of health, which governs caution toward the latest health trends but never at the expense of a balanced curiosity for the latest knowledge. Rewarding is the section on testosterone, in which the author makes a strong case against supplemental testosterone while offering substantive advice that will help men keep and even regain natural levels of the hormone.
VERDICT Recommended to men interested in healthy aging.
