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 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. In these pages, you'll find out why beauty isn't as much about your vanity as it is about your humanity. The doctors 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. Those three levels of beauty are:
You'll start off by taking the ultra-revealing and validated YOU-Q Test to help you assess where you are on your own beauty scale and where you want to be. Take the test, see how well you do; then use the book to help you improve your score.
With their usual candor and honesty, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz break down the mechanics of beauty and explain how little adjustments in your routine can help you become a happier, healthier person. You will learn about the biology of beauty, take YOU Tests to determine where you are on the beauty scale, get tons of YOU Tips to help you improve your life, as well as learn the secrets of the Ultimate Beautiful Day.
From hair to toenails, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz go through every part of your body to explain how different foods, vitamins, creams, gels, and injections can really boost your looks. They scrutinize the beauty myths that bombard us every day and offer an unbiased perspective on which ones cause more harm than good. You will be able to revamp your beauty regimen (or start a new one from scratch). They'll also take a close look at chronic pain, mood swings, low energy, and financial stresses. And they'll dive into the science of building relationships, finding happiness, and using spirituality to help you define your own levels of true beauty.
Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz act as tour guides navigating the tricky but exciting terrain of today's beauty industry. YOU: Being Beautiful is your all-inclusive ticket into the world — the real world — of beauty.
This follow-up to Roizen and Oz's current bestseller YOU: Staying Young, targets three dimensions of beauty: looking beautiful, feeling beautiful and being beautiful. True to their holistic vision, they provide tools, tips and quizzes on physical appearance-caring for hair, skin, nails, teeth, etc.; forming healthy diet and exercise habits; reading labels and selecting products; and choosing cosmetic enhancements (breast implants, Botox, tattoos, piercing and LASIK, for example).They also include practical ways to manage energy levels, ease aches and pains, prevent injury, cope with mood disorders, end addictions and create positive home and work environments. Identifying work and finances as major stressors and loving relationships as key to health and happiness, they offer insights and suggestions for developing a big-picture, spiritualized view of life. A 24-hour "ultimate beautiful day" shows readers how to implement changes into their typical schedule. The blend of beauty advice with love, work, finances and spirituality could be smoother, and the impish humor throughout is a bit strained. Still, this volume is as entertaining and challenging as other titles in the series. (Oct.)

As they have done in previous titles, they approach their subject here with humor and solid medical research. They believe that beauty is more than skin deep-it is the end result of physical and attitudinal health. If we eat properly, exercise appropriately, and use cosmetics with discretion, beauty will be ours. As always, they employ a cheerful, even satirical tone and load us up with intriguing factoids in addition to their sound medical advice. Each chapter addresses a particular element: skin, hair, teeth, metabolism, aches and pains, relationships, etc. There's a lot of overlap in this title with their previous books, but all the information is true and usable. People who are interested only in beauty will get a health boost as well. Recommended; the authors will launch the book on Oprah in November.

For those of you who think beauty is about mirrors, makeup, and how many pudding packs you have to sacrifice to fit into your skinny jeans, then pull up a chair, postpone your top-of-the-hour Botox appointment, and hear this.
Beauty isn't some vapid and superficial pursuit that exists solely to sell products, wag tongues, and produce drool. Beauty is actually precisely perceived, purposeful, and rooted more in hard science than in abstract and random opinion. From the time we started prancing around the world with our body-hair parkas and leafy lingerie, evolution has pushed us to be more beautiful. And that's why beauty serves as the foundation for our feelings, our happiness, and our existence. In fact, beauty doesn't reflect our vanity as much as it does our humanity.
Beauty -- dear appearance-obsessed friend -- is health.
We already know that beauty is always on your mind, because it's on everyone's minds. You can't help but think about it or suppress it -- consciously or not -- every time you step in the shower or in front of the mirror. It drives many of the decisions you make about exercise and eating, and it determines how you choose between the black dress and the white pants.
This kind of traditional beauty -- the outer kind -- really isn't just about looking good. Outer beauty serves as a proxy of how healthy you are; it's the message you send to others about your health. Way back when -- before we could decode your genome, use fertility tests to see when you're ovulating, and order MRIs to see what was going on with your liver -- people used beauty as the serious assessment of the potential health of a partner. Beauty was the best way to figure it out (and in a tenth of a second, mind you). Now, if you take the concept of beauty a few steps deeper, you realize that inner beauty -- the idea of feeling good and being happy -- also has tremendous health implications in every aspect of your life. But for so long, we've had it all wrong. We've thought of beauty as nonessential and superficial. Just look at our most popular beauty-based clichés:
The logic behind all these myths argues that external beauty is unimportant, most likely misleading, and at best relevant only until more useful information becomes available. But we have three words for these three clichés: wrong, wrong, wrong. Scientific study after study shows that these popular principles are more myth than reality.
In fact, research shows that human beings have evolved universal standards of beauty, both within and across cultures. Research also shows that attractive people are judged more positively than unattractive people -- even when there's other information available about them. The data show that more attractive people are judged to be better liked, more competent, and more exciting (all by about a two-to-one margin). Research also indicates that external beauty is linked to personality and behavior.
Though there are biological and social influences on beauty, it does seem that being deemed attractive creates a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy that reinforces and internalizes certain behaviors and self-concepts. And guess what? Most of these crucial factors are ones you can change for the better.
In YOU: Being Beautiful, we're going to share with you the biology of beauty, as well as what you can do to be your most beautiful self by making choices and taking actions that will help you look the way you want, and most important, feel and be the way you want.
We're going to clarify what beauty really is -- and give you the tools to become healthier and happier by paying a little more attention to it. How? We're going to chop up beauty into three distinct pieces -- pieces that will give you a perspective that may change the way others view you and, ultimately, the way you view the world. These three hunks serve as the structural outline for this book.
Part 1:
LOOKING BEAUTIFUL: You don't have to be a screen star to know that outer beauty matters. Simply, appearance is the proxy -- the instant message to others -- for youth, fertility, and health. In this section, we'll explore some of the ways that you can improve your looks when it comes to such things as your skin, your hair, and your body shape. Most of all, these things are important because how you look partly helps determine how you feel.
Part 2:
FEELING BEAUTIFUL: There's no doubt in our minds that looking like diamonds doesn't mean squat if you feel like a wooden nickel. You can have the best hair, skin, and butt this side of Kalamazoo, but if you lack energy or your knees creak or you're sadder than a leashed kitty, then all the outward magnetism you may have will be obscured -- and fade fast. Here we'll take a look at the big things that can keep you from feeling beautiful -- things like fatigue and chronic pain and destructive attitudes -- so you can help turn the blues into, well, hot pinks or purples.
Part 3:
BEING BEAUTIFUL: Though you may assume that we'd be imposing morality in a section about "being beautiful," we're not really talking about behaviors here. We're not here to tell you what's right and wrong but to explain how to take your life one step deeper -- to find a more authentic and happier you in your life and relationships -- and how to use different strategies to do so.
The beauty of these three kinds of beauty is that they're all tied together: Looking as good as you like helps you feel good about yourself, which serves as the foundation for developing that sense of authenticity and deeper purpose that so many of us crave as we search for meaning in our lives. Plus, being authentic and happier makes you physically more attractive.
Now, let's get one thing straight so you can relax a bit. You wouldn't be here unless your ancestors were beautiful. You need to accept the fact that we're all beautiful; sexual selection guaranteed it, because your ancestors mated with the most beautiful partners. We all have beautiful elements in us; we're going to talk about ways that we can expose and maximize them.
The beauty industry is one of the biggest money-takers around (it sells us a lot). We have cosmetics companies and cosmetic surgeons. We have supermodels with their own magazine covers, commercials, and reality shows. We're obsessed with fashion and our weight. We fret over inopportune pimples in inopportune places. We exercise our bodies, we scrub our faces, we wax off gnarly hair, we buy expensive underwear to push our breasts up and suck our stomachs in. And maybe you're right. We're all emphasizing the wrong things.
Here we argue that beauty is also much more than outer appearances alone. As we'll explore through the middle and the end of the book, beauty is also about how you feel and how you define your life. These three interlocking elements -- look, feel, be -- work together to form what we believe is the ultimate goal in all of our lives: to feel good about yourself because you have strong self-esteem and a healthy, energetic existence that allows you to appreciate the subtle beauty of day-to-day life, and because you know your purpose in life -- and to show off that purpose by helping others do the same.
YOU: Being Beautiful is really about the fact that we're all hardwired with automatic thoughts and perceptions about beauty. That means that many of these ideas have evolved over thousands of years to form a foundation for human behavior, emphasizing that it's especially hard to overcome some of the automatic drives.
To that end, beauty is very serious business -- as in survival-of-the-species serious. When we think about survival of the species (living long enough to pass your genes on to the next generation), it's natural to emphasize the survival part of the equation. But when it comes down to a choice between surviving and breeding, breeding often wins. (Think of male grizzlies fighting to the death for a mate.) Considering the stakes, you'd better be sure that the object of your affection (that man with those magnificent abs) is worthy of the effort to attract him. But how can you know for sure? Thankfully, just like the metal detector-toting treasure hunter who leaves luck and serendipity to the amateurs, you come fully equipped with your own professional-grade beauty detectors.
When we spot a particularly attractive person, somewhere deep in our reptilian brains, a beauty alarm goes off. It tells us when we've struck gold, and it does so automatically and subconsciously. Just like a reflex, it's automatic, impossible to stop, and Annie Oakley accurate. Your beauty detectors have the mathematical precision of a Swiss watch, and this precision comes in the form of some very specific numbers that you'll learn about in this book, including something called the Fibonacci sequence. You'll also learn that's the reason why we make so many decisions with our emotions and not our logic; those decisions play a major role in how beautiful and healthy we feel.
To teach you about these things, we're going to use some of the same techniques you may be familiar with if you've followed us along this wonderful journey about YOU. We'll offer YOU Tests to allow you to assess your various states of beauty. We'll explain (both verbally and visually) all of the biology that makes up the systems we talk about; once you know the why, you're more likely to take action with a what. We'll offer plenty of YOU Tips and YOU Tools that you can use to look and feel better than you ever have before. Right after this introduction, we'll test your YOU-Q -- a measurement of how well you're doing in your overall pursuit of authenticity and happiness, since there's quite possibly a large difference between the current you and the potential you (it's hard to be happy if that difference is big). And we'll end up with the ultimate beautiful day -- 24 hours of simple changes that can help you get where you can.
Along the way, you'll be challenged, shocked, and surprised -- and your perceptions about inner and outer beauty may very well implode right in front of your freshly exfoliated face. You'll learn why shampoo may not be all that necessary, why and how the perfect smile can be measured down to the millimeter, how a secret to effective foreplay centers around your ten toes, why female orgasms are crucial to the continuation of the species, how tennis balls can mend an aching back, why a simple change in language fosters or stops addictions, and why our definition of spirituality is like nothing you've ever heard before. We'll cover lots of topics in these three parts of beauty -- including all the health implications and easy-to-follow solutions that can help you get the most out of life. (In our humble opinions, it doesn't get more beautiful than that.)
As you dive into this book, you'll come across essential information about the seemingly inconsequential things in life (hello, pores!), and you'll come across mind-blowing inspiration about the absolutely consequential things in life (how to find true meaning and purpose). While we'll hit you with the nuts and bolts of outer beauty, we also hope to inspire you to make changes about how you feel on the inside. Throughout, we'll try to challenge your assumptions about what true beauty is.
Along the way, you'll surely look in the mirror -- both literally and metaphorically. You'll get new perspectives on body shapes, on fingernails, on tongues, on depression, on knee pain, on energy levels, on sexuality, on prayer, on so many things in your life that you can strengthen to live healthier and happier. It may be hard to imagine that hangnails and deities belong in the same book. But as we hope you come to appreciate, beauty isn't about the parts. It's about how those parts work together to form the whole. The whole YOU.

If you've read a lot of the other "YOU" books, you're probably thinking what I'm thinking, "When are these guys going to run out of ideas?" Well, they haven't yet, and unlike a lot of sequels, this one's not half bad. <BR/><BR/>So what's the point of this book- to just look beautiful? Well, not exactly. While looking beautiful is definitely covered in the book, the authors want to make it clear that real beauty isn't just "skin deep". As far as they're concerned, there are three "levels" of beauty. They are: <BR/><BR/>-looking beautiful <BR/>-feeling beautiful <BR/>-being beautiful (which is more or less acting/behaving beautiful) <BR/><BR/>The book is really thick and takes its time covering each of these major areas. A little bit about what is covered in each section: <BR/><BR/>-being beautiful: beautifying and caring for your skin, hair, teeth, nails, and feet are discussed here, as well as weight and muscle toning tips. <BR/><BR/>-feeling beautiful: learn how to beat pain, the blues, low energy and debt in this section. (I found the info on accupressure points very interesting) <BR/><BR/>-being beautiful: I felt that this was kind of a "catch-all" section. The major issues addressed here were improving relationships, sex info, and a short discussion about happiness (rec. "Finding Happiness in a Frustrating World" for a more detailed review of happiness). <BR/><BR/>The book ends with an hour-by-hour plan for the "Ultimate Be-YOU-tiful Day". I doubt I could pull this day off very often, but it was a nice way of pulling many of the book's tips together to show you how they can be easily integrated in your daily routine. <BR/><BR/>All-in-all a very enjoyable, and comprehensive book for those looking to improve both their inner and outer beauty. People looking for a beauty book that discusses just outer beauty will likely be disappointed.

I fully expected to eat this book up from beginning to end. Instead, I found the info was poorly presented if not downright klutzy and written in the most condescending "chick lit" tone that I had to put it down after skimming through each chapter (which took all of an hour!) and haven't cracked it open since. I was very surprised at the amateurish approach taken by Drs. Oz and Roizen (and the publisher!) who have become household names due to their exposure on Oprah and PBS. Most of the info is a rehash of material readily available and fed to us on a daily basis. It was difficult to find the "gems" that would make this a worthwhile investment. Nevertheless, it will reside on my bookshelf albeit unused.

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" -- from inner flap of the book.<BR/><BR/>In "YOU: Being Beautiful" the two doctors attempt a holistic approach to attaining and maintaining beauty in three parts:<BR/><BR/>1. "Looking Beautiful" <BR/>A how to guide for caring for your outer appearance- Skin, Hair, Mouth, Hands, Feet and of course, body shape.<BR/><BR/>2. "Feeling Beautiful" <BR/>This part of the book is divided into chapters discussing:<BR/>- energy levels, and energy crisis resulting from viruses and infections, hormonal imbalances, sleep problems<BR/>- aches and pains -- back pain and its relation to the spine and muscles; types of headaches; female pains; etc.<BR/>- emotional distress<BR/><BR/>3. "Being Beautiful" Finally they get to the core...which is ironically the title of the book. This is the area where perhaps the doctors are stepping beyond their expertise. At the core of all the science of beauty, the doctors agree, that LOVE is the source of beauty. They get into the biology of attraction, sex, etc. They have come up with six "paths" to happiness which include:<BR/>1) being positive and generous<BR/>2) feeling empathy<BR/>3) finding authenticity<BR/>4) embracing emotion<BR/>5) exploring spirituality<BR/>6) understanding unhappiness<BR/><BR/>The authors write: "To feel good about yourself because you have a strong self-esteem and a healthy, energetic existence that allows you to appreciate the subtle beauty of day-to-day life and because you know your purpose in life--and to show off that purpose by helping others do the same."<BR/><BR/>Don't expect this book to be some kind of breakthrough, instead it's like many of their other books; well organized and provides an easy to follow approach to understanding the concept of health. I'm giving it three stars because I think does a good overall job to cover a lot of topics, but is somewhat shallow when it attempts to penetrate deeper, less superficial issues about "Love." Even so, there are many other good books about the path to body esteem, finding the right mate, etc. that pick up the slack. I think ultimately, some people will be left let down that the book doesn't live up to the hype, but if you're more realistic and are familiar with the two docs books, you'll probably find some value in this book.

'm a fan of the authors and have read all of their books. What I enjoyed most about You: Being Beautiful is that it targets beauty from three essential angles. They show you how to look beautiful, feel beautiful, and even BE beautiful. As you might expect, they offer a ton of test and tips to help you work on all your beauty areas from your hair, to your skin, your teeth, and so on.<BR/><BR/>They also take the time to consider beauty as a mental element of a person, both from the pyschological image you have of yourself to keeping stress down and other things in life that are as harmful to your mind as they are to your body. It's a holistic approach that really does leave you feeling as beautiful as you are bound to look after following their tips!<BR/><BR/>Another book I strongly recommend because I've enjoyed it immensely and have made some major changes since reading it (a healthy mind is a beautiful mind) is The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book

I rarely get rid of a book without having completed it, and I even more rarely review books, but this one was just that bad. I can't even tell you how many contradictory statements I found in just one chapter of this book. Retinoids are the only thing that will help get rid of stretch marks. Just kidding, there's nothing you can do about stretch marks and retinoids are dangerous to your health. Want to find a good face cream? We recommend vitamins A and E, which should be present in the quantity of 1%-10% to be effective. We recommend Dr. Perry's NightCream. Well guess what folks? Dr. Perry's NightCream consists of 0.1% Vitamin A, and isn't even evaluated by the FDA. Furthermore, in the next chapter, these authors claim that balding is influenced by both parents. Please tell me how these two men did not learn in medical school that male pattern blading is a X linked trait, as in only your mother can pass down the trait to you. I beg of you all, search elsewhere for advice on beauty.

Seeking a good portal into the melding of alternative and allopathic medicine in reference to person image? This book is not it. I need to know how the authors intended this book to be used by the reader, as I found the book to be singularly insulting to my intelligence. The large type and large margins indicate to me that the authors acknowledged the lack of content and were compensating for that fact. I give this book a grade of D-. It's not even good enough at being bad to earn the resounding thud of a failing grade.

More than half of the review posted by "Anonymous" with the title "Help On The Path to Beauty" was plagiarized from my review below. I originally posted it on Amazon.com on Nov. 11. There is nothing wrong with my review. The other review should be removed.<BR/><BR/>"Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans--all these things that we can see (and obsess over) in the mirror.

They divide them into three levels of beauty: <BR/><BR/>1. Looking Beautiful. The manes says it all - the authors tell you what to do to look the way you want. That includes: <BR/>- taking care of your skin -- how to keep it young and smooth, how to protect it, what to do with acne, eczema, etc. <BR/>- taking care of your hair -- proper hair care, hair abuse, hair loss, etc. <BR/>- taking care of your mouth -- lips, teeth, gums, bad breath, and more... <BR/>- taking care of your hands, feet, nails... <BR/>- assuring the proper body shape. (They devoted one of their previous books, "YOU on a diet," to that subject. ) <BR/><BR/>2. Feeling Beautiful. This part of the book is divided into chapters discussing: <BR/><BR/>- energy levels, and energy crisis resulting from viruses and infections, hormonal imbalances, sleep problems <BR/>- aches and pains -- back pain and its relation to the spine and muscles; headache (migraine headache, tension headache, cluster headache); female pains; etc. <BR/>- emotional distress <BR/><BR/>3. Being Beautiful. Love is the biggest beauty boost! We need emotional connection with other people to fill happy. Beauty is the reflection of happiness. The doctors discuss the biology of attraction and love, and the biology of sex life in men and women. They name and talk about the Six Paths to Happiness: <BR/><BR/>- being positive and generous <BR/>- feeling empathy <BR/>- finding authenticity <BR/>- embracing emotion <BR/>- exploring spirituality <BR/>- understanding unhappiness <BR/><BR/>The book ends with "The Be-YOU-tiful Plan for Living the Ultimate Beautiful Day" and other strategies for becoming beautiful. <BR/><BR/>I think this book is on the level of the authors previous book "You: Staying Young" which in my opinion is good enough for four stars. However, I think that some ideas (taking care of spine; obesity; internal body hygiene) are better explained in "Can We Live 150 -- Your Body Maintenance Handbook", which I highly recommend as an addition to this book.

Overview
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...
