This is an audio book format I hadnt seen before. I found this at Borders. It is a little mp3 type player that plays an unabridged version of the book. check out their website:

The Book:
The body is the most fascinating machine ever created, and nobody talks about it in ways that are as illuminating and compelling as Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Most people think of the aging of our bodies the same way we think of the aging of our cars: the older we get, the more inevitable it is that we're going to break down. Most of us believe that at age 40 or so, we begin the slow and steady decline of our minds, our eyes, our ears, our joints, our arteries, our libido, and every other system that affects the quality of life (and how long we live it). But according to Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz, that's a mistake.
Aging isn't a decline in our systems. It's actually very purposeful. The very systems and biological processes that age us are designed to help us when we're a little bit younger. So what's our role as part of the aging population? To learn how those systems work so we can reprogram them to work the way they did when we were younger. Your goal should be: die young at any age. That means you live a high quality of life (with everything from working joints to working genitals) until the day you die.
My take:
That is just part of the blurb I copied from the Borders website. I always enjoy Dr Oz when he is on Oprah. This book is pretty good. Full of lots of information, and it is all broken down with humor so that us regular folks can understand, but I think I should have just gotten a "book" It will work better as a reference book, to have an actual book to pick up and skim through.
I find that audio books are great to listen to while I am work. I can do my data entry work, and "read" at the same time. I leave it at work, and carry an actual paper book to read away from work.
Currently reading:
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. It is totally on fiction and very interesting. Review to come...
