PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kozlowski (The Jane Austen Diet) takes a fresh and fascinating look at how Queen Elizabeth II has stayed healthy and vital over her nearly 70 years on the throne. He identifies 23 "rules," or lifestyle choices, that have contributed to her longevity, beginning with "don't be a drama-food queen," based on the queen's preference for a simple, no-frills diet. Kozlowski also explores the queen's attitude toward exercise (a brisk walk with the corgis) and alcohol (she shows how to "drink like you reign it," partaking of a cocktail or two occasionally, but never to excess). In each chapter, Kozlowski digs into why the "rules"work. To pick two, the queen models the dictum that "sovereign is as servant does" with her devotion to the British public, and has shown why it's fulfilling to "defend the faith which defends you" with her public advocacy for her Christian faith, which the queen incorporates into her life with weekly churchgoing and nightly prayers before bed both service and faith, research indicates, promote health and longevity. Kozlowski's clever and informative book will be embraced by her majesty's many admirers, as well as by readers hoping to pick up some tips for living a long and rewarding life.
