Summary

For the 70 million Americans over 50, and the 25 million more who soon will be, the inconveniences of aging may seem inevitable. We all must eventually face decreased energy, body pain, and the loss of our mental acuity, right? Wrong! Gay Hendricks has the research to prove that we can look young, overflow with energy, build great relationships, and sleep like a baby all night, at any age -- without popping pills.

Achieving Vibrance offers a step-by-step technique that will restore and optimize your natural vibrance of mind and body almost immediately. Through four years of intensive research with hundreds of Americans aged 50 to 87, Dr. Hendricks has created a simple plan that leaves participants feeling, in their own words, "vital, harmonious, and clear." Using gentle movements, breathing exercises, and shifts in communication, the all-natural Vibrance plan produces astonishing results, with only a seven-minute time commitment each day.

Achieving Vibrance is an absolute must-read for all Americans approaching the second half of their lives.
