From the Author:

Having treated thousands of men with various male problems over the years, I became frustrated by the needless deaths and negative impact on a man's life and that on his family. Furthermore, I came to realize that men didn't have to suffer and die from the many afflictions that they encounter. Many of my patients through pro-active involvement in their health have been able to conquer, minimize, or prevent various male problems that could have negatively impacted their lives.

I have often asked the question, "How many men do you know take as good of care of their bodies as they do their cars?" and found few that have. Yet, I sincerely believe and have seen that men can actually take as good of care of their bodies as they do their most prized possession. Through education, awareness, and humor, my book provides vital information that can add quality years to a man's life.

From the Inside Flap:

Enough is enough. Decade after decade, women have outlived men. The average gap in longevity now stands at seven years. Men have lived with this life-expectancy gap so long, they have become comfortable with it. They sit back and don't ask why- why they are shortchanged 10 percent of their lives, when actually years are wasting away because of their behavior. So, who is the weaker of the sexes? The life-expectancy numbers say men are.

In How Men Can Live As Long As Women: Seven Steps to a Longer and Better Life, author Ken Goldberg, M.D. clearly explains how men can take control of their health, while tacking on years of quality living. In this reader-friendly, fact-filled guide to a longer life, Dr. Goldberg shows men how to close the longevity gap between men and women. It's time for men to save themselves from an unnecessarily premature death. All it takes are seven easy steps. It's that simple!

How Men Can Live As Long As Women is about male empowerment, and that empowerment comes from knowledge. As Dr. Goldberg explains, men aren't naturally delivered the short straw when it comes to longevity. It's their own doing- not some quirk of biological fate. For starters, women make 130 million more doctors visits per year than men do. Take Dr. Goldberg's call-to-action to heart and you might very well find a "fountain of youth." Dr. Goldberg explains in laymen's terms: How You Can Read The Danger Signals Your Body Provides How To Perform Self-Examinations How To Take Control Of Your Relationship With Your Doctor How To Develop A Proven Nutrition And Exercise Program That Maximizes Your Health How To Avoid The Ten Leading Causes Of Death How To Enjoy True Fulfillment And Pleasure In Your Sex Life How To Protect Yourself From Sexually Transmitted Diseases And Much, Much More.

The advice in this book can work wonders. Don't take our word for it: Take it from a former patient, a 60-year old man:

"I was a health disaster. At 55 years of age, my cholesterol was over 300, I was 30 pounds overweight, and...I was impotent. My wife and I hadn't had sex in years...Now, I've got a new zest for life! I watch what I eat and I walk four miles every day, rain or shine. My cholesterol is under 200 and I've lost the extra pounds. Believe me, I feel 10 years younger than I did five years ago. Best of all, my relationship with my wife is the best it's been in 35 years of marriage."

Millions of men across the United States say they are tired of being robbed of a full and productive life. In this book, Dr. Goldberg asks men to put at least a much care into their health as they do into maintaining their automobiles. The choice has never been so clear. Start following these seven steps that lead not only to a longer life, but a better one as well.
