Celebrity dermatologist Perricone (The Perricone Prescription) claims to have the key to blocking age-related illness while achieving youthful skin and energy. Based on nutrigenomics, an emerging field linking nutrition and longevity, his plan claims to activate age-reversing genes and biochemicals with superfoods (e.g., wild salmon, watercress, chia seeds, barley grass, cinnamon, cocoa); supplements (e.g., vitamins K and D, astaxanthin, Pycnogenol); a fat-burning diet with recipes; yoga; and rest. While other recent titles–particularly Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz’s YOU: Staying Young–echo such counsel, Perricone takes a beeline approach, backed by new technologies (Perricone’s own Cold Plasma cream) and noninvasive skin treatments (micro-current). A resource list directs readers to Perricone-brand or promoted products (Williams-Sonoma cookbooks, Le Creuset cookware, etc.). Many favorite foods are forbidden in exchange for ageless beauty without chronic dieting and excessive workouts. After a few days free of dietary devils, readers might even embrace Perricone’s model of success: Madonna and her salmon retox.

Author of Sizzling Sixteen suggests:
Sh*t My Dad Says is f______ great! If you haven’t read it yet, you can’t appreciate that. The author’s father, whose quotes make up most of the book, is just very funny, very irreverent, very real. It’s refreshing at a time when we’re all choking to death on political correctness and can go for days without meeting a single person with common sense. It’s hard to believe this book wasn’t written about someone from Jersey. I’m from Jersey, and I know these people. And this is the way real people talk.
