The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old

De: Andrew Steele

Narrado por: Andrew Steele

Bloomsbury presents Ageless written and read by Andrew Steele.

'A stunner ... If you haven't got this book in your house, I don't know why' Chris Evans

'A startling wake-up call . . . Writing with the vim of a Bill Bryson and the technical knowledge of a scientist, Steele gives us a chance to grasp what's at stake' Independent

'An exhilarating journey . . . Steele is a superb guide' Telegraph

'A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with extraordinary facts . . . Read it now' Mail on Sunday

Ageless is a guide to the biggest issue we all face. Ageing – not cancer, not heart disease – is the world's leading cause of death and suffering. What would the world be like if we could cure it?

Living disease-free until the age of 100 is achievable within our lifetimes. In prose that is lucid and full of fascinating facts, Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for this revolution. Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what occurs biologically as we age, as well as practical ways we can slow down the process. He reveals how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of civilization – one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An absolute tour de force." (Aubrey de Grey, chief science officer, SENS Research Foundation)

"An immensely important book." (Professor Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins)

"This is an essential book for anyone interested in the fast-developing science of longevity." (Jim Mellon, chairman of Juvenescence)

Is aging really an illness?

Great Master Dōgen: “Should you live for a hundred years just wasting your time, every day and month will be filled with sorrow; should you drift as the slave of your senses for a hundred years and yet live truly for only so much as a single day, you will, in that one day, not only live a hundred years of life but also save a hundred years of your future life.” Is prolonging human life actually good for society, not just some, probably wealthy, individual? We are already overpopulated...
Quite good narration given the author reads it by himself!

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.

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.

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 😁
