“As they have done in previous titles, [Drs. Roizen and Oz] approach their subject here with humor and solid medical research . . . As always, they employ a cheerful, even satirical tone and load us up with intriguing factoids in addition to their sound medical advice . . . all the information is true and usable. People who are interested only in beauty will get a health boost as well. Recommended.” -- Library Journal
“This follow-up to Roizen and Oz’s current bestseller YOU: Staying Young . . . is as entertaining and challenging as other titles in the series.” -- Publishers Weekly
In the New York Times #1 best-sellers YOU: On a Diet, YOU: Staying Young, and YOU: The Owner’s Manual, the “YOU Docs” entertained and taught us about dieting, aging, and the fundamentals of the human body. Now, in YOU: Being Beautiful -- The Owner’s Manual to Inner and Outer Beauty (Free Press; November 11, 2008; $26.95), America’s favorite doctors -- Michael F. Roizen, MD, (cofounder of RealAge.com) and Mehmet C. Oz, MD, (health expert for The Oprah Winfrey Show) -- teach us the biology behind looking, feeling, and being our very best.
While the world seems to revolve around the superficial elements of beauty, beauty is actually precisely perceived, purposeful, and rooted in hard science. External beauty is our brain’s barometer for measuring health. And research indicates that external beauty influences personality and behavior. Yet beauty is much more than how we look. It’s about how we feel and how we define our lives.
In YOU: Being Beautiful, Drs. Roizen and Oz provide detailed, innovative, and visual explanations about how beauty and the body work and then give easy and actionable pieces of advice to help us nudge our beauty (inner and outer) to its maximum potential.
Busting the myths and stereotypes about the way we view ourselves and how we define beauty, Drs. Roizen and Oz explain why beauty isn’t as much about our vanity as it is about our humanity. They take a scientific, informative, and entertaining look at what they call the three levels of beauty and explain how they all work together to form a complete and authentic YOU. Those three levels of beauty are:
Looking Beautiful: Our appearance influences our self-esteem and has major health implications. Here, the docs tell us how we can look the way we want.
Feeling Beautiful: So what if we have luscious lips or gorgeous locks if our joints creak and we have the energy of a rug? The docs explain how to improve our energy levels, beat back life-altering aches and pains, and come to grips with some of life’s toughest stresses.
Being Beautiful: By improving our relationships with loved ones as well as with others, we’ll be well on our way to finding true happiness. That’s the ultimate goal: Having all three levels of beauty working together so we can have happy and healthy lives.

In YOU: Being Beautiful, Drs. Roizen and Oz break down the mechanics of beauty and show how little adjustments in your routines can help you become a happier, healthier person. More importantly, they help you appreciate that beauty isn’t about “the parts.” It’s about how those parts work together to form the whole. The whole YOU.
Drs. Roizen and Oz will launch YOU: Being Beautiful on The Oprah Winfrey Show on November 11th. At 8:00PM that evening, Discovery Health will air their 1-hour special, The Dr. Oz Files: Beauty Inside Out.
