Men's Health Books

While I don't aggree with everything in the book. The book provides a good overview of males with eating disorders as well as Dr. Holbrook's personal story. I think some of the low ratings are because certain chapters are hard to understand but it is overall a good book.

Surprise surprise! Men have bodies, too; and what they see in their own glass or mental mirrors has as deep a sociological and psychological influence as for women. Inevitably, then, habitual use of food and exercise to control the personal impulses and cultural responses could never remain a "woman's problem." What will be regretable will be how many male deaths and destroyed lives it will take before that simple point does not have to be the main theme opening a book such as this...and then pretty much the only theme of substance that the authors seem interested in fleshing out throughout the rest of their superficial treatment of the subject. Before this book, material on male eating disorders was quite rare and frequently misguided; after this book, good material on male eating disorders remains just as rare as before. With the deep experience brought to the matter by all three respectable authors, that suggests a depressing prognosis for finding any understanding out there among less knowledgeable therapists and others in a position to support recovery. Sure, the book throws a wide net in the search for causes and recognizes the core of the issue in its suggestions for recovery; but in an attempt to reach a general public audience, they have gone so light-headed that they come off like quack doctors probing any place it might maybe hurt, then handing out snake oil for the remedy. Even with gender identity running so horribly ferociously through the problem for both sexes, men who suffer and the family and support systems helping them would do better at this point to look to any of the excellent books already published for women.

This book offers the lay person a comprehensive guide to weight and body image issues in men and promises to be a valuable resource for men and their families. The authors make compelling arguments for how and why these problems have increased for males over the last decade. The book is directed primarily toward men "who can't stand the way they look in the mirror, and the ones who are so driven for perfection that they neglect the deeper areas of life"(p.xiv). However, it is also intended for family and friends of such men and professionals who may treat them in clinical practice. The tone and style of the book would appeal a bit more to a lay audience than a professional one, and I think would make a good "recommended reading" for a therapist to offer to a client.

Overall, this book makes a very important contribution ... and one that you can recommend to your patients for an informative and insightful examination of men's concerns with weight and shape.

This book is a big disappointment. Offers no valuable insights for men with eating disorders. Andersen is called the leading authority on this subject but I cannot fathom why this is so. Most likely, he and the other editors/authors just wanted to be the first to publish a book like this. Unfortunately, they were not up to the task. Hopefully, someone who understands this topic more will eventually publish a more useful book on the subject.

You'd never suspect from looking at the cover articles of men's fitness magazines at your local newsstands, but until now men had cause to feel neglected by the body dissatisfaction mavens of the academic community. In contrast to the scores of books written about women's issues about their bodies, eating disorders, and related topics, the literature addressed to males has been thin indeed. Men with eating disorders can now feel cared about too.

Dr. Tom Holbrook's account of his own struggle with anorexia nervosa is a highlight of the book. This remarkably candid, self-revelatory story of an astute psychiatrist whose struggles permeated his medical and psychiatric training and subsequent practice is probably matchless in the annals of wounded healers.

The last sections concern recovery, dealing with topics from basic nutritional information designed to foster realistic dietary and meal planning for gaining (or losing) weight, to psychological, social and spiritual aspects of recovery.

I once read a different book on the same subject, and it gave suggestions and advice based on the way things could be or should be. As a result, the advice and suggestions were mostly useless. By contrast, the basis of this book is the way things really are. This cold, hard reality might be too harsh for some, but the book won't steer you wrong. If you follow all the suggestions, even if you don't get a boyfriend, you'll be a better person.

Yeah: We know the rules, the things we must follow to find the man of our dreams. Do this, do that, don't do it! I told you not to... But, if you're tired of following recipes to bake your man, this is the book to follow! Easy to read, easy to keep in mind and easy to buy. What else can be asked? Maybe you'll find that you have to be a little cinema-fan to understand some of the principles described. But if you are not, then this is the time to find out about the plot of some of those movies you hear now and then at parties. Believe me, this is and absolutely delightful book, even if you are not in search of your knight in shining armor!

What an awful book! Yes, it is witty in some places, but this is nothing more than some light weight humor that depicts an awfully bad light on being a gay man. Outland states that sex is a must by the second date and the overlying tone of the whole book is that sex is what it's all about. In a book about finding "Mr. Right," I'd expect something about relationships. Seriously, save your money - the Patrick Price book on relationships/gay marriage is much better, more amusing, and yet full of real world advice that might actually work without the stupd gimmicks and movie-principles Outland talks about.

One of the most difficult things to find in the homosexual culture is honesty. How can you blame us? Most of us are forced to lie (to ourselves and others) for the first 17 years of our lives...quite like smoking, it's a difficult habit to drop.

When an author puts out a book about gay life, one thing I pay attention to: Is this author being HONEST about what gay life style is like? I am proud and embarrassed to say that Orland Outland hits a lot of the misconceptions and frustrations of the gay dating game right on the head.

I think everyone has the romantically idealistic friend that needs to be smacked in the face with reality, or perhaps this book. They believe Mr. Right will find them. They believe no matter what they look like, Mr Right will see right through the fat and bad hair. They believe that one day, Juan will come up to them in a coffee house, and sweep them away to a fantastic tropical paradise, where cake has zero calories, sex with out a condom is ok, and love comes with out sacrifice.

I think every one of us WAS that person at one point in time. "The Principles" is written directly for that person.

Most of us reading "The Principles" will be nodding along with Mr Orland Outland's gentle scolding and witty pointers. Most of us will be laughing as Mr Outland discusses those around him and his own personal dating and sexual failures or mishaps. Then there will be a handful of readers who's for-head's will furrow in concentration, as they will be actually learning what it's like to play the game BY not playing any games.

Mr. Outland makes no attempt to hide that fact that this is the gay man's answer to the book for women "The Rules, Time Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr Right". Our author clearly states that these tactics might work for women, but they have no place in the competitive dating arena of men. I couldn't agree with him more.

Dating for the sake of dating. Sex for the sex of sex. Conversation for the sake of conversation. No strings. No tricks. No manipulations. (I promise, it's not complicated.)

I could see how this book would rub some people wrong. It's blunt. It's callous. It paints an ugly picture of gay dating...But what's important to me is that it is HONEST. Our culture and society has it's flaws. We cannot fault Mr. Outland for being honest about them.

Since it was written in 1998, most of the book is still rather relevant. A few bits here and there have already been deemed null and void by the advancement of time and technology. For instance, I've never had anyone online ask me, "Could you send me ur .GIF?" Right, let me get right on that.

Humerous, interesting, and educational, this book is perfect for the guy that needs to get a clue, or the guy that already has one. Either way, it's a solid digest on what dating life was like in the late `90's and what it IS like in the present time period.

I read several books on finding a mate, and while this book had a few very useful tips, it's focus seemed to be more on bath-houses and "campy" humor. Save your money, here! 2 books to buy are: Husband Hunting Made Easy (Patrick Price) and Finding True Love in a Man-Eat-Man World (Craig Nelson). The Patrick Price book is #1 if you only want to buy one book. I used the information from these books, and have found my Mr. Right. Good luck!

Jesse Stoff describes a broad approach to the treatment of prostate cancer. In fact, it is the most comprehensive prescription for an alternative treatment of prostate cancer that I have ever encountered. The main ingredient emphasized is PC SPES but that is not viewed so much as a 'silver bullet' as it is a necessary part of a multi-faceted attack on the disease.
Stoff writes from the perspective of one who personally treats prostate cancer patients in his medical practice. If this book has a weakness, it is that the reader is given so much information it may lead to some confusion.

I'd advise any potential buyer to google Jesse Stoffe. In Jan, 2005 he was hit with a $385,000 fine from the FTC for giving his "expert support" to a product that had previously been shown to be useless. He signed a consent decree in which he agreed to never advertise the effectivness of this product nor give his "expert" opinion in support of marketing for this product.

Also note that in 2003 he lost his license to practice medicine in Arizona. Here is the quote, "With regard to Case No. 02-15, the executive director explained that the investigation was at complete. Assistant Attorney General, Harris explained that the Board may wish to consider a Letter of Concern or move forward with an administrative hearing based on the available information. President Shelton inquired about the status of Dr. Stoff's license following dismissal of the present case. Mr. Harris explained that the license would expire and Dr. Stoff would be unable to practice medicine in Arizona" (this is from the Jan 14, 2003 meeting of the Arizona Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners)

The authors describe a comprehensive approach to the treatment of prostate cancer. Much emphasis is placed on the importance of PC SPES as a necessary ingredient in a multi-faceted attack on the disease.

Unfortunately the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers last year to cease taking PC SPES because it contained undeclared prescription drug ingredients. The manufacturer of the product has since gone out of business.

Although THE PROSTATE MIRACLE includes much useful information, the apparent demise of PC SPES seems to greatly diminish the usefulness of this book.

The amazing Dr stoff has done it again, revealing therapies that strengthen the immune sysytem which in turn can save your life. AiE10 and pc spes just two of the remarkable solutions to better prostate health! Stoff has shown how every challenged male can have vibrant health into his later years. Perhaps now prostate cancer and other immune disorders can be reversed and statistics can now begin to go the other way. This is a must read for all who desire health and longevity.

Dr. Jesse Stoff does an outstanding job writing this book. I've had friends that have been patients of Dr. Stoff and they are all in remission or on the road to health. The unique thing about this book is that it gives the exact protocals of what he does in his practice, what products, therapies, stress management, etc. In fact this book could be used for anyone with any type of cancer, weakened immune system or auto-immune system problem. The only time it wouldn't involve any type of health concern is Chapter 8 since it relates to the male hormone.

I have been in the nutrition industry for 10 years now and am the Wellness Director and Nutriceutical Specialist for The Institute of Anti-Aging and Longevity, and this is the first time I have read a book that lists a balance of therapies, not a magic bullet, that will help the body heal itself if given the right nutrients and the elimination of stress and toxins. I am happy to see the the emphasis of PC SPES and AIDBCWE (or AiE10) as part of the therapy for prostate cancer. These little known substances have shown great promise in the treatment of cancer. We offer the AIDBCWE/AiE10 from Body Wise as mentioned in the book, and it definitely increases the activity of Natural Killer Cells designed to take out malignant cells.

The other unique thing about the book is that Dr. Stoff lists all the sources of where to get products and the laboratories he uses for diagnostics. This is a valuable asset.

My favorite Chapters are 6 and 7 because it relates to how the body can heal itself if the immune system is intact. Dr. Stoff's motto, "Learn how to get well and stay well" is what this book is all about. I highly recommend this book, his therapies and becoming a patient of Dr. Stoff if necessary. Dr. Stoff is one of God's miracles on the planet in helping people become well.

We host lectures with Dr. Stoff with our institution on a regular basis, if anyone would like to attend a live lecture or live educational conference call with Dr. Jesse Stoff, just email me.

I found this guide to men's attire to be the perfect companion when shopping for a new suit. I will not go into detail about my own experience, but let me just say that I recommend it to anyone who likes to look good. It appeals to all age ranges (I think) whether you are just out of college or looking for just the right thing to wear to the retirement party.

This is very very brief and not very much of the advice goes beyond common sense. It feels outdated, stodgy and unimaginative. Most any mens magazine can give you eqaul or better advice as could any store clerk.

This book really answers any questions about men's attire: from different types of materials to matching shirts and ties to what to buy for casual day wear. The pictures and extremely helpful! This book is very easy to follow and a great reference! You can get some really good gift ideas from it also. I think the book itself would make a wonderful gift for: Graduation, Father's Day, Christmas, Birthday, etc.

This book is an excellent, easy to read and follow guide for any man wanting to dress well. It is a must-buy for any man going on a job interview, corporate employees, employers who wish to define "casual day", graduates starting out in the job market who wish to build a wardrobe, and spouses/relatives/friends who want to buy for men in their lives (small cut-out cards where sizes can be written in are included in the book so that these can be brought while shopping). Other topics covered include accessories, formal wear, fabric weights and styles, and lots more. I found this to be a most helpful resource that I will refer to again and again!

Molloy's book covers the same ground more broadly and deeply. This book is light on the text, heavy on glossy pictures that don't always correlate with the text, and a pretty good example of packing the minimum of information into the maximum of consumer dollars spent. Buy Molloy's book instead as a beginner book on this subject.

I bought this book hoping that I could get started with yoga on my own. As a beginner's introduction to yoga, it is rather unsuccessful in that it uses terminology without defining it first and has photographic illustrations that do not show the key points of the yoga positions as clearly as the drawings in "Yoga for Dummies."

The author clearly is knowledgeable and passionate about his subject, but I don't think that these attributes serve him particularly well in an introductory text of this type.

I was never a yoga kind of guy, but after reading this book I actually had the courage to go to a class. I'm still going and loving it. Yoga For Men does a great job of making yoga seem less of scary 60's hippie thing and more just a great way to stay in shape, mentally as well as physically. I know many people have hang ups about yoga, especially men, so this book was sorely needed. It's a great value too, fully illustrated and with a companion CD included.

This book is a great guide to yoga! I particularly like the way it spells out all of the benefits of yoga in a user-friendly format. I also liked the comparison of yoga to business. Finally, a yoga book I can relate to! I would recommend this to any guy looking to get healthy.

This book is a waste of time for anyone wanting to learn yoga. The poses are held for too long for beginners which makes them very difficult. The audio CD is very hard to follow and there is too much mystical yoga horse manure in the book. Try Yoga for Dummies or Yoga for Health by Richard Hittleman instead.

I think the book, Yoga for Men, is a great value in terms of content, modest cost, and considering it also includes an audio CD. Not bad!!! The focus is on men, but many of the concepts are applicable to women as well. This book is not only beneficial to men but to all the women who love them. Recommended as gifts from women who have husbands, partners, fathers, brothers, sons and male friends.

The book has good intentions but it leaves you wanting more. A decent book that glosses over male topics but never really gives you the details that I have come to expect from other books.

This is a wonderful book for the man in your life! Every woman should buy one this Christmas for your man that needs a little polish.

Excellent presentation. Unlike many publications of this type that appear intimidating, this book is jam packed with non judgemental insights.

A great looking book, which however fails to follow through by providing equally good content. Too often specifics are passed over in favour of vague generalities.

My husband and I were very impressed at how well this book dealt with 'touchy' or sensitive topics without being offensive. This book is not graphic. It is straight to the point without sharing any information about sex. The book covers everything from body odor and puberty to nocturnal emission and saying no to drugs. great book for parents to read and discuss with 8-13 year old boy.

My three sons have all embraced this book and loved it. Initially, I believe they were drawn to it by the colorful illustrations, as well as the wonderful side bars that provide useful sound-bite style information. The book has a a very inviting design, using icons and colorful headers that let the reader know what the sections and paragraphs relate to, so they can determine if they need to read it or not. In fact, some of the icons used help the user quickly identify the source or topic in a side bar, i.e. is this an expert's opinion, a helpful tip, etc.

The text is bright and lively and the book flows in a way that let's a boy pick it up and find the information they need in order to address what they may be dealing with in their travels through puberty and daily life. It's cleverly packaged using the same trim size as a comic book -- which young boys relate to! This is the best book I've read that offers growing boys insights on dealing with bullies, family matters, sports, homework, and their ever changing bodies. It's a really terrific book!

A guy reading this book will either not get the information he needs, be misled, or be aware of the numerous points at which the book fails in its job. As a librarian, I don't recommend this book.

Most kids in this age range are not going to read pages and pages of heavy text -- not going to happen.

The overall tone is ok --- but its just not for kids this age. And there is the rub -- its not for older kids either.

I'd skip this one

A 'must read' for anyone attempting to understand the tension between Afican American Men and Women.

Dr. Jeffrey Gardere tackles the "black love" arena head-on with his guide to loving one another and overcoming adversity within your relationships. Using real-life incidents, he shares with readers what most relationships go through and how to get rid of negative behaviors, stereotypes, and game-playing.

Outlining many situations from his work as a clinical psychologist, Gardere helps remove the barriers and challenges most African-American men and women face today. Touching on topics that get down to the root of the problem, which he believes stemmed from slavery, he helps readers understand their thoughts and feelings, offering suggestions on how to heal, fix and maintain after the problems are resolved.

Who wouldn't want to stop the cycle? With light, sincere and honest feedback, this is great reading for women and men alike. This book may be the antidote that everyone has been searching for. Get in line for your prescription...

This book was HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to me, but unfortunately, I did not find it highly insightful. For me, there was really no new information or insight and the examples of relationship situations seemed a little immature or unrelateable. I do think it's worth reading for those in their late teens and early 20's, or those who have not had the exposure to determine what's even considered a worthwhile relationship to pursue. Perhaps I was just expecting a deeper presentation and reflection of the issues.

I love to hear Mr. Gardere on talk shows. However, this book did not provide in real concrete help. The book focused on Post-Traumatic Slavery Syndrome and how it affects our relationships as Black Americans. I could not finish the book because he did not give a prescription for healing. I was left hanging like a doctors tells me my arm is falling off but prescribes me aspirin for the pain.

The foundation of the book uses slavery again as an ailment or crutch instead of a stepping stone. I say get a second opionion from a doctor that will state the cause and a cure to an ailment.

I wish I could give it a -5 stars.

You can't call this book "Natural prostate healers". From the very beginning the author refer readers to AMA goctors. And he recommends readers to use some alpha-blockers, which actually will make your prostate grow. That's why doctors like prescribe them so much- you will be their customer untill your prostate will grow so much that you will ask them to do surgery. Looks like the author have the information for this book collected from different sources and just mixed it all together. Example- in one Chapter he wrote about alpha-blocker Hytrin. In another one he wrote about benefits of ajpha-blocker Terazosin... Obviously he doesn't know that Terazosin is the brand name for Hytrin. When he write about patients who successfully treated BPH or Prostate cancer with natural cures he doesn't provide any links to where he's got this information.

Recently read the book "Natural Prostate Healers" by Mike Fillon (with foreward by Dr. Barken). I noted that the book had great cautions in regard to elevated IGF-1 levels being predictors / causations for prostate cancer and yet have noted that research has pretty clearly refuted any such connections.

See:

Additionally there is a degree of concern in the book's recommendations which could lead to an overexposure to soy in general. While certain very specific elements of soy (in quite moderate dosages) appear to positively affect prostate enlargement, the case history for "preventing" or "curing" prostate cancer appears less so and needs to be balanced out by concerns related to overconsumption of soy (considerable research as to soy's adverse effect on thyroid functioning for example).

http://thyroid.about.com/cs/soysdownsides/

Likewise, zinc oversupplementation apparently has surfaced as cause for concern:

http://my.webmd.com/content/article/70/80974.htm

"Zinc Supplements May Double Risk of Advanced Prostate Cancer"

Finally, I found that the book was inconsistent in other statements.

For example, on page 3 the book stated "suffice it to say, no prostate, no orgasm..." and yet on page 140 it states that one can have one's prostate completely removed and still have an orgasm. There is an obvious need to update and/or correct any future editions...

Women and men have different thresholds for consulting physicians. Women schedule doctor appointments regularly. I am told this is less a matter of choice than necessity. Regular peaks under the hood are a requirement for getting refills of birth control pills, and later, hormone replacements. Lacking this motivation, men see doctors only if they can't stop the bleeding after cutting themselves or they are unconscious. As they age many add a third reason: their prostate has begun acting up. Problem prostates cause many of the problems that make old age a less than glorious time, including painful urination, difficulty in maintaining an erection, frequent nighttime urination and the general inability to write your name in the snow. Realizing that the baby boomers were about to hit the problem prostate years, a cottage industry has developed to convince men to have their prostates examined on a regular basis. Following the proven formula of scaring people with statistics, the authors of these "public service" brochures have focused on prostate cancer. It is the perfect disease for shocking headlines. If you live long enough, you develop prostate cancer, period. What these well meaning attempts at educating men usually fail to mention is that prostate cancer develops very, very slowly. What they almost never mentioned is how much you can do to reduce the discomfort of prostate problems and cut dramatically your risk of prostate cancer. By putting an emphasis on these positive themes Mike Fillon's Natural Prostate Healers: A Breakthrough Program For Preventing And Treating Common Prostate Problems provides a refreshing look at an important men's health issue. What I like best about Fillon's book is that he has taken the approach of a journalist surveying new terrain. The result is that important facts that tend to be minimized in more medically-oriented books rise to their proper perspective. Two points stand out. First, Fillon stresses the lack of a cause-and-effect linkage between common prostate problems and prostate cancer. There is a presumption -- largely created by public service ads -- that 2 a.m. visits to the toilet are nature's idiot light for warning you of prostate cancer. Fillon debunks this notion, and goes on to suggests common sense ways of managing these problems, chiefly through minor changes in diet and exercise. Fillon's second contribution is to change our view of prostate cancer from being inevitable to becoming avoidable. The basis for this claim is the extreme global variation in prostate cancer rates, between 3.5 cases per 100,0000 in Singapore to 49.8 cases in Sweden. The rate in America is 32.2 cases. Rather than let this statistic hang in the air as some sort of X-file mystery, Fillon seizes upon it to suggest ways in which minor modifications of your diet to move you toward the favorable end of the statistical scale. Prostate problems will eventually pose some degree of difficulty for everyone who leaves the toilet seat up. Fillon's journalistic approach treats the subject with a degree of balance that is both enlightening and, through the inclusion of recipes that promote prostate health, quite useful as well. Natural Prostate Healers belongs in the home of every baby boomer, and you might want to send a copy to dad too.

I was looking for more. However, half the book is self accessments, and the other half is filled with master-or-the-obvious advice. Eat well, sleep well, have sex, exercise, watch stress, etc. Nothing new, accept perhaps the suggestion that men don't eat meet more than 3 times weekly? This due to added hormones in meet. So, I took it as, switch to organic, and push legislators to ban additives the US now allows, but EU prohibits.

The title says testosterone factor, but the book is full of questionaires, some people may find them useful, I didn't, the book does give a lot of information on increasing testosterone in the body, but no real information on getting testosterone from natural sources and gives no mention on PINE POLLEN which at this stage is the largest known natural source of testosterone. The book would better to included under Male Health Improvement.

Love the book, got alot of information on hormones with this book.
Easy read and fun too.

Don't let the title fool you. This book is not just about Testosterone ("T"). It is about all aspects of men's health after age 40. I found the advice good, on topics like sleep (which affects both "T", and health in general), mental attitude, and things like obesity. The discussion on how being obese basically turns men more feminine makes you want to go out and exercise right now ! I found this book well-written, scientific, but at the same time, like a friendly conversation. The doctor says up front that he wants it that way, and thus, it is not a "too scientific" book, but there is "enough" science in it. I learned for instance about the hormonal systems, and how things like coffee and alcohol affect them. This is a very useful book for men over 40. I think any man will find tons of useful health tips in here.
