Chasing Life

New Discoveries in the Search for Immortality to Help You Age Less Today

By: Sanjay Gupta MD MD

Narrated by: Sanjay Gupta MD MD

For centuries, adventurers and scientists have believed that not only could we delay death but that "practical immortality" was within our reach. Today, many well-respected researchers would be inclined to agree. In a book that is not about anti-aging, but about functional aging--extending your healthy, active life--Dr. Sanjay Gupta blends together compelling stories of the most up-to-date scientific breakthroughs from around the world, with cutting-edge research and advice on achieving practical immortality in this lifetime.

Gupta's advice is often counterintuitive: longevity is not about eating well, but about eating less; nutritional supplements are a waste of your money; eating chocolate and drinking coffee can make you healthier. Chasing Life tells the stories behind the breakthroughs while also revealing the practical steps readers can take to help extend youth and life far longer than ever thought possible.©2007 Sanjay Gupta, MD; (P)2007 Hachette Audio

Great Information

This book is well written and narrated by the author. It contains so much new and helpful information.

This is FOR-EVERY ONE who wants the bests

The topic and Doctor where excellent. I am 85. I want the best. This is the beginning.

Liked it

I liked this book.
OK, it's a topic I always like.
Much of the information I have read elswhere before (e.g. Dr Perricone). But there were new things. The presentation/speaker was good. Some things are just a view in the future and not implementable at the moment but still interesting. Only 4 stars because it's a little short for the money.

Concise, Objective, and Cleae

Thanks to Dr. Gupta’s depth of knowledge and impressive ability to clearly share that with listeners, there are a lot of helpful facts and suggestions shared that I can implement in my daily life to “Chase Life.”

Disappointing

I was poised to get the next installment on life extension or new science and health breakthroughs but instead I got a rehash of old supplement information and a lecture on how to eat "good foods". Very disappointing. With so much going on that is new I can't help but think that this author is just un-informed. Sorry I cannot recommend this book.
