Review:
“A Short Guide to a Long Life explores the simple idea that a healthy tomorrow starts with good habits today.” (Fortune)
“The little volume contains Agus’s starkest, most clear-cut prescriptions yet...in a field rife with caveats, Agus speaks with a ringing clarity.” (Wired)
“[Dr. Agus] makes better health feel like an attainable goal.” (Boston Globe)
“The beauty of Agus’ book is that it is short, comes straight to the point, and is devoid of arcane medical terms. The other sublime effect is that it was written to ‘prevent’ poor health practices, rather than deal with the costly solutions needed to cure you.” (Forbes)
“Little line drawings and a conversational, fatherly tone make this guide light and easy to follow...readers who have already taken Agus as a health guru will love it.” (Publishers Weekly)
"[A] small but important book... This is a book that could change your life, literally. Even following half the tips can make a huge difference in how you feel each day...If you are going to check out a new book this summer, A Short Guide to a Long Life is a great one to start with.” (News-Gazette (Champaign, IL))
