About this audiobook
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz bust the myths and stereotypes about the way we view ourselves -- and how we define beauty.
Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans -- all those things that we can see (and obsess over) in the mirror. But the fact is that beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's not some random act that you can thank (or curse) your ancestors for.
There are, in fact, scientific standards to beauty. Beauty is purposeful because it's how humans have historically communicated who we are to potential mates. Beauty, in fact, is really about your health and happiness.
In these pages, you'll find out why beauty isn't as much about your vanity as it is about your humanity. Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz take a scientific, informative, and entertaining look at the three levels of beauty and explain how they all work together to form a complete and authentic YOU. With their usual candor and honesty, the doctors break down the mechanics of beauty and explain how little adjustments in your routine can help you become a happier, healthier person.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I felt that this book was just TOO MUCH! It seemed like such a hodgepodge of tons and tons of information, that I'm not even sure how much of it will stay with me. My other problem is that very little of the information provided was actually new to me. Let me break it down for you:1. too much sun in bad for your skin;2. drink lots of water;3. using a hairdryer/curling iron/straightner all the time will cause damage to your hair;4. you should be flossing;5. you need to eat regular meals so that you won't feel like you're starving;6. exercise is a good thing;7. smoking is bad for you;I think you get the general idea here.The book is full of drawings that look like they belong in a middle-school health textbook from the 1950s, and the so called "humor" used throughout the book, made me feel like the author was making fun of me - not a good thing.YOU (etc. etc.) is not all bad though. I did find the information on human biology and evolution to be quite interesting. The authors also went to great lengths to explain things such as the functions of our glands, the reasons behind headaches, and why you may be feeling less energetic these days. My favorite parts of the book were the "Safari Secrets: Lessons from the Animal Kingdom". There were lots of little tidbits on everything from the way animals see the world to the way elephants lose and replace their teeth. Again, no new news to me, but I still enjoyed the way the authors related the animal information to information about humans.Overall, YOU Being Beautiful: An Owner's Manual to Inner and Outer Beauty just wasn't what I thought it would be. It is indeed very much like a health textbook, and not at all about things like make-up, hairstyles/colors, or dressing better. If you keep that in mind, you won't be disapointed.
