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.

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

Very hard! 22 years of imbibing and trying to slowly quit at 40. Behavioral pattern is a b*tch.
Essentially parts will rust and fail eventually. Not literally rust.
Definitely we would want to live longer than now(with slower aging).

BTW I've listened to a couple of talks by David Sinclair and he's quite impressive. However, this seems to be a hot area of research so why is he the only guy out there pushing these ideas? It all reeks a bit of Jack Lalane and his juicer. Some of the stuff that Sinclair consumes is generally judged to be potentially hazardous, and Sinclair while admitting he takes it doesn't advocate that others do the same. Thanks but I'll pass and play the lottery of life.
In 2003, results from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT)—an NCI-funded randomized clinical trial with nearly 19,000 participants—showed that men aged 55 and older who used the drug finasteride daily for 7 years had a substantially reduced risk of developing prostate cancer .

And BTW, show me a drug that doesn't have negative side effects. For every drug you take you often end up taking something else to offset the downsides. You may end up living a little longer but there's always a price to be paid.
His research & sharing are valuable.
I myself have been playing with time restricted eating, diet changes etc for last 3 years. Have seen tangible benefits.
I wonder why this book us 2 USD. But its worth.

Look at the leading causes of death..... we know how to prevent heart disease, we know how to prevent neurodegeneration, we know how to prevent most cancers......
Your generalization about drugs isn't really accurate. It's a question of probability and cost/benefit analysis. Many drugs have outstanding safety profiles.
