Dr. Bernstein was invited to present at the First Annual Collier County Jewish Book Festival in Naples, Florida Monday, February 22, 2016. With an energetic audience full of 120 seniors and baby boomers came to hear Dr. Bernstein share what he learned from his patients about the secrets of how we all can AGE GRACEFULLY®

Dr. Bernstein’s first book, I’ve Got Some Good News and Some Bad News YOU’RE OLD  provides patient stories as he dissects the five letters of GRACE. He developed the acronym -GRACE to describe the 5 attributes found in his patients who experience happier, healthier and longer lives. GRACE stands for : Goals, Roots, Attitude, Companionship and Environment.
