Super Agers

Narrado por: Eric Topol

A New York Times Bestseller

Super Agers is a detailed guide to a revolution transforming human longevity. This is a breakthrough moment in the history of human health care. The person making that bold claim is one of the most respected medical researchers in the world, Eric Topol.

Dr. Topol’s unprecedented, evidenced-based guide is about how you and your family and friends can benefit from new treatments coming available at a faster rate than ever. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr. Topol also explains the fundamental reasons—from semaglutides to AI—that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue. Ninety-five percent of Americans over sixty have at least one chronic disease and almost as many have two. That is the essential problem this revolution is solving. He explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers—diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration—and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Dr. Topol describes.

The amazing discoveries Topol brings into sharp focus are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Super Agers captures the extraordinary potential of today’s biomedical revolution. With breakthroughs like CRISPR genome editing and AI intersecting and accelerating at a remarkable pace, we stand at the threshold of preventing age-related diseases and unlocking new possibilities for longevity. Eric Topol's optimistic and inspiring vision makes this book an essential guide to the future of health."—Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate, CRISPR gene editing co-inventor, and Innovative Genomics Institute founder

"For those looking for simple slogans or short videos to guide them to long life, they will not find it in Dr. Topol's Super Agers! Instead, they will get a detailed, evidence-based and optimistic dose of the truth. The combination of genes, biology, behavior and environment, when subjected to the forces of computation linked to AI, reveal a picture of wondrous complexity of the human condition. The good news is that real progress is being made and that Dr. Topol's gift for expression of complex issues in useful language comes through again."—Robert Califf, former commissioner of the FDA

“Eric Topol is not only a distinguished geneticist, cardiologist, and scientist: he is the most widely read and credible health 'futurist' I know. Super Agers is a highly readable and evidence-based digest of those astonishing advances in medicine, science, and technology that directly affect our lifespans. In its pages is a roadmap for linking your own measurable data with personalized actions and interventions that improve your odds of living longer, and more importantly, doing so in good health. Super Agers is a landmark book."—Abraham Verghese, author of The Covenant of Water

Healthy skepticism and update on latest research and technological information

Well written book by a man that has a long career behind him to back up his perspectives, beliefs, in descriptions of the latest in medical technology, and also what we can do to extend our healthspan

About survival

I can’t understand why this book doesn’t have a higher rating. Is it because people are trying so hard to amuse themselves? Certainly the information in this book is useful to help us prolong our Lives and live a better quality of life while doing so. I suppose that means I will be able to read more books that amuse me after I finish the survival part.

I am not sure why, but none of the platforms where I am able to read this book offer any instruction about how to download the PDF file that Dr. Topol is constantly referring to. I will keep trying to find it because it sounds interesting.

A Masterpiece

A science based masterpiece. Dr. Topol has clarified so many things for me. I remain eternally grateful.

Good facts; bad pronunciation

Although he is credited as the author, he reads the text as though he was seeing it for the first time. He mispronounces technical words, and the names of the scientists that he is citing. He frequently pauses at the wrong places in sentences. Many of the facts are useful, so maybe I will try reading the printed book. But I hesitate to recommend this audio reading by the author.

Brilliant work highlighting the advances of geroscience

Super Agers is an excellent book, thank you Dr Eric Topol for narrating the audible version and including the 74 page reference with notable figures and diagrams. Well done!

His knowledge and how far medicine has evolved. Eric should replace Mr Kennedy before it’s too late.

Very detailed researched book with much information. Most over my head even as retired MD.

Content too technical for laypersons

The book is written for medical researchers and medical doctors. The book mostly covers medical terminology that a layperson can’t understand and therefore much of the book is un comprehendible.

I realized how much there is to know.

At times this book is overwhelming. The amount of information coming at you is like drinking out of a fire hose. Still, it gives you a good idea as to what to do or not to do directionally.

almanac of all aging related research

The beginning in any of the book and most chapters were the best parts. The middles were just a never-ending stream of research and scientific terminology and molecule names, etc. it was hard to follow at times. I also think the author gave far too much attention to "hopeful" scientific associations as opposed to proven causations.

Real science vetted by a real scientist.

There's no nonsense here. Dr Topol gives us a comprehensive and yet deep investigation into the state of the science of healthspan. Pragmatic and full of reality checks, and yet optimistic that we can lead longer healthier lives through application of real science.
it was interesting to hear how AI had helped advance science and medicine in so many different ways.
So good.
