Monday night at the Empire Hotel, rooftop terrace, JB Berns released his new book titled: Do It or Age Quickly: 60- second practices to live better, stronger, and longer.

Berns has over 20 years of martial arts, yoga and Taoist training and has learned how to steer clear of fad diets that promise to fix all.

Do it or Age Quickly offers a collection of unique knowledge that Berns has accumulated over the years and encompasses 21 simple techniques to care for your mind and body.

Each technique takes only 60 seconds and promises to work towards a more enriching life that will unltimately be ’stronger and longer’.

The party allowed guests a chance to talk to Berns about his experience with creating the book as well as recieve autographed editions (which I will read and post more on soon after reading). Berns also handed out a collection of DVDs that use dance and martial arts to create an at-home excercise routine.

The event served healthy orderves along with top shelf cocktails and guests enjoyed the rooftop view while a 3 piece jazz band kept a chill but upbeat atmosphere* Later on in the evening, contortionists from the extremely popular Cirque du Soleil performed while live, model statues stood on pedestals throughout the venue*
