A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Brilliant and enthralling.”​ —The Wall Street Journal

A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time’s most influential people.

It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan?

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.”

This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs—many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger.

Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat—that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer. At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.

We may not agree on everything the author writes, or thinks, and express doubts about his utopia, or, notice how much his research conflicts with some moral or religious beliefs, etc. But in the end, it's absolutely incredible to realize how deep we can go at studying ourselves, understanding what send the most ununderstable, and it's indeed difficult to think that the lifespan extension he predicts won't happen. A book that forces you to think, and even rethink your life. 10/10.

Life changing

The book is very interesting and I also enjoyed (and consider important) the time spent on ethical and socio-economical considerations. However, the book is packed with technical discussions which after a point just become noise.

Too many technical details

Starts with an overview of the auhor's research. This is nice.
It then becomes a detailed exposition of the author's views on the future of the species, which I couldn't care less about.

edit: it's unbearable, I can't finish the book. The whole second half is techno-optimistic gobbledegook void of any substance. I'd expect it in a sunday magazine piece written by an unpayed intern on the topic of "the next 100 years, and why they're going to be awesome".

Furtheremore, this is delivered in a pathologically upbeat voice, reminiscent of some over-eager puppy excited at every single walk.

I'm asking for a 50% refund!
