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.

Don't listen to the naysayers. This is a solid book backed by a lot of up to date scientific literature. In addition it's explained in a way that you don't need a PhD to understand the concepts. David Sinclair is a very respected figure in the geriatrics field and his lab has made a number of breakthrough contributions to this exciting field. Give it a try and make up your own mind.
Perfect timing LOL
I need to understand why I looked 10 years younger than my age, didn't need glasses, active and muscular, and then all of a sudden all my facial hair turned white, vision got blurry, and lost all my strength
Thanks I'm flattered by your compliment. Running a lab in Harvard is time consuming but Slickdeals comes first.

Lol, how is "eat less meat" all that different from "thinly veiled veganism"? Sounds pretty similar to me. If eating mess meat helps you slow or reverse aging, isnt the obvious corollary that eating none slows it even more?

Sinclair supports plant based diet, he eats meat though

I wouldn't be surprised if the book is filled with junk, but there's a lot of evidence that eating red meat and processed foods increases your risk of colon cancer.

Eat less meat makes a lot of sense with today's highly processed meats. IMO, Eat MORE local farm meats and vegetables. Skip the carbs. Not easy in a fast paced world though.
