Though it’s called “Younger by the Day,” Victoria Moran’s newest book seems like one that will (pardon the expression) age well.
Like a perpetual calendar, Moran’s book features an inspirational thought for each day of the year that’s easy to begin no matter when you buy it. Moran offers encouragement, primarily to middle-age women, on how to feel and look younger.
As a vegetarian, and one who has embraced the ayurvedic teachings of ancient India, her advice often is seasoned with those biases, though always in a gentle manner.

Eating more fruits and vegetables and getting more exercise are just part of the picture. Moran also writes about: spontaneity, vitamins, leg waxing, sleep, goals, dry skin, benevolence, facials, clothes, slumber parties, and everything else in between.
While not everything in here is fresh or full of promise, most of the 365 ruminations are thought-provoking.
Attention, please: “So often the person we’re talking with on the phone is also writing an e-mail or scrambling an egg. This doubling up is how we get things done. But when you focus on someone to the exclusion of everything else, you give something rare and eloquent.”
