Ignite's Next Book Club Selection – YOU: The Owner’s Manual

The Book Club on Ignite began more than a year ago with our first book review of YOU: On a diet. And this month, it feels like we’re coming full circle with our next Book Club selection, which is another one in the “YOU” series. We’re getting ready to read YOU: The Owner’s Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger, by Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen. Roizen, who is considered an anti-aging guru and coined the term “Real-age” and celebrated heart surgeon Oz (Oprah’s favorite doctor) combine their popular approaches to consumer-centered care and assess how much or how little, people know about their bodies. Another important idea the book presents is that 70% of how long we live is within our control (that got my attention). We’ll give everyone two weeks to buy the book and read the first two chapters of the book before we begin discussing them on Ignite. Our first blog discussion of the book will be on Tuesday, July 1. As always, we’ll have a guest speaker (Dr. Tony Linares is returning to Ignite) who will add his own flavor and advice to the book discussion, along with a final Live Chat session on the book once we finish reading it. So if you’re curious about the book and its contents stay tuned to Ignite as we begin to unravel the mystery that is YOU (and me, and everyone else).
