Resumen del Editor
Bloomsbury presents Ageless by Andrew Steele, read by Andrew Steele.
Ageless is a guide to the science driving biology’s biggest story: why we get old and how we can stop it.
Ageing - not cancer, not heart disease - is the world’s leading cause of death and suffering. We accept as inevitable that as we get older our bodies and minds begin to deteriorate, and we are increasingly likely to be struck by dementia or disease. Ageing is so deeply ingrained in human experience that we never think to ask: is it necessary?
Biologists, on the other hand, have been investigating that question for years.
Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for a revolution in medicine. It takes us inside the laboratories where scientists are studying every aspect of the body - DNA, mitochondria, stem cells, our immune systems, even longevity genes that have helped animals to a tenfold increase in lifespan - all in an effort to forestall or reverse our decline.
Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what is happening as we age and practical ways we can help slow down the process. He reveals how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of medicine - one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars and transform the human condition.

Helpful and worthwhile
This book is complementary and different from Lifespan of Dr. Sinclair but at same time very relevant. Fact based, objective and practical. Great narration by the author.

Should be taught in schools
Very interesting and scientifically based. It's nice not listening to a sales pitch about the next fad diet.
The Author was the narrator, which while not bad could have been improved by a professional narrator. He spoke very fast at times and his annunciation sometimes suffered. Don't let that put you off the book. I've now listened to it twice and learnt as much the second time around. Enjoy 😁

Puts ageing into proper perspective
This book is gives an exhaustive overview of the ageing process and the molecular biology that drives it.
The author is smart, witty and very structured. I personally enjoyed the narrative, the intellectual stimulus and the questions the author raised. Even for a newcomer to the field the majority of topics will become clear as they are thoroughly explained in a language that is fairly easy to grasp.
What is lacking is his personal research history (the whole book is basically a meta-analysis of existing research) and recommendations on living a longer life are pretty generic. No actionable groundbreaking insights on how to leave longer now, author states that most of the referenced research is in preliminary stages.
