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 was amazed by how far science has come already. As I have trouble to stay on top of current research, this book was eye-opening. Many things that I remember discussing/thinking about/hearing a few years back suddenly seem way less distant. I look forward to seeing what the future brings

Inspiring and uplifting

I was impressed by the research Dr. Sinclair presents in this book. Extremely interesting. I did not know that there are so promising things going on to slow down / stop / reverse aging.

This audio book does not fail to deliver its title's promise.

You are shown, through the author's own narration, what is basically a first-person view into the frontier of current aging research.
As a graduate student in the somewhat related field of biotechnology myself, I have not yet met any scientist who is as precise and open about the big vision behind his/her research as the author, David Sinclair, is.

He doesn't only reveal to the reader yet to be published results of his institute's top-notch biomedical studies, but also very personal details about his private life, which lead him to pursue this special line of research.
This way, you can get a quite genuine idea of what the author's motivating values are, which are pretty humanistic and relatable at their core.
Furthermore, you will be pushed to question your own values and assumptions about human lifespan, old age and the way we organize our society today.

Towards the end of the book, a convincing case is made, that the eventual defeat of aging (within the next few generations) is quite inevitable, given all advances currently still in the pipeline.

On that basis, the author involves you in an open discussion about the societal crossroads this will create in our near future, warning of many kinds of dangers, but ending in an ultimately optimistic and wholesome vision of human progress and prosperity.
If you are intrigued to find out what that vision is exactly, definitely go ahead and start listening ;-)

Plus: You'll get some very practical and research-based tips for living a longer and healthier life.

Provocative, inspiring, informative and wholesome

My key takeaway: Aging is a disease and you can do something against it! Inspiring book from David grounded in research.

Great inspiration
