About the author
Renee Taylor
50 books6 followersRenee Taylor is an American actress, perhaps best known for playing Fran Drescher's voracious and outspoken mother, Sylvia Fine, on the TV series The Nanny.
Taylor was born Renee Wexler in The Bronx, New York City. During 1992-1994, she played the stereotypically-overbearing "Jewish mother" of the lead character on the HBO series Dream On. Beginning in the fall of 1993, she began playing the stereotypically-overbearing "Jewish mother" of the lead character on The Nanny. Thus she was playing both roles for a season, and the two characterizations were virtually identical.
She has also had a voice cameo in the recent Warner Brothers cartoon Superman as a spectator to Superman's discussion with a visiting alien princess of the essence of marriage and relationships, ending the scene with a delightful 'What planet is he from?'
She has been married to actor Joseph Bologna since 1965, and is the mother of actor, Gabriel Bologna. Taylor and Bologna co-wrote the Broadway hit comedy Lovers and Other Strangers, and received Oscar nominations for writing the 1970 film adaptation. In 1971 the couple co-wrote and starred in the film Made for Each Other. Their screenplay received a nomination for the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Comedy. Joseph Bologna also made an appearance on The Nanny as an egocentric actor named Allan Beck, who tormented Maxwell Sheffield.
Taylor played Eva Braun in the 1968 version of The Producers.

I have finished reading a French translation of this book. I am working on a historal essay exposing "myths" about Hunza extraordinary health and longevity covering a whole century of literature and testimonies. Taylor is very interesting in this respect.
I am not sure that the author is the same Renee Taylor you linked with, a well-known actress who does not seem to be a writer. The same error has been done on her Wikipedia entry in English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%...) erroneously linking to VIAF identifier https://viaf.org/viaf/252000

I like this book and Gaylord Hauser's "New Treasury of Secrets" for basically the same reason; they offer sensible, practical advice for beginning a daily exercise routine, of not more than 20 minutes a day.
Both books have much more in them, but I have mainly read and re-read the sections on exercise and found them very helpful.
