Younger Next Year
by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge
A retired lawyer and his physician alternate chapters on Harry's Rules: exercise six days a week for the rest of your life, do serious aerobic and strength work, stop eating junk, spend less than you make, connect and commit. It is aimed at men over fifty (a women's edition exists), funny and blunt, and its central claim, that decay is optional for decades, is well supported.
Read it if…
you are past fifty and want a clear, motivating prescription for the next thirty years.
Skip it if…
you are young or want nuance; the rules are blunt by design.
Three things you will actually use
- Exercise six days a week, forever.
- Strength training is not optional after fifty.
- Connect and commit; isolation ages you.
Do this first
Schedule six workouts this week; four aerobic, two strength.
Our verdict
Blunt, funny and motivating.
