Stefanie Powers: Superlife! by Stefanie Powers and Judy Quine (Simon & Schuster: $17.95).

This book has a lot of spirit, conviction and kick--the last both literally and figuratively. “Superlife” might be considered a most palatable introduction to karate and yoga plus much more. Along with specific karate and yoga moves, breathing and visualization techniques are taught. (Quine is co-founder of the Professional Karate Assn.) And there are assorted tips on eating, bathing, traveling and fighting anxiety, depression and fatigue. It’s a pleasant, nicely designed package.
