With stories and research from all over the world, the TIME and CNN medical correspondent describes the eating, lifestyle, and emotional patterns of people who have long, healthy lives. The value of exercising, restricting calories, and reducing sugar and fat intake are well known, but it's fascinating to hear these habits supported in such diverse ways. With his experience on camera, Gupta knows how to present complex information in sound bites anyone can comprehend. Where this experience fails him is in his vocal delivery. In spite of the familiar ring of his voice, his intonation in this longer vocal performance sounds repetitive and predictable. The program concludes with a personal interview in which he answers questions about his career and his goals for this book. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
