The Lucky Years

How to Thrive in the Brave New World of Health

By: David B. Agus M.D. M.D.

Narrated by: Holter Graham

“If you buy just one health book this year, then get The Lucky Years” (Howard Stern). In this groundbreaking guide, bestselling author David Agus shows how we can take control of our health like never before in the brave new world of medicine.

In his first bestseller, The End of Illness, David Agus revealed how to add vibrant years to your life by knowing the real facts of health. In The Lucky Years, he builds on that theme by showing why this is the luckiest time yet to be alive, giving you the keys to a new kingdom of wellness.

In this new golden age, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the latest science and technologies to customize your care. Imagine being able to: edit your DNA to increase a healthy lifespan; use simple technologies to avoid or control chronic conditions like pain, depression, high blood pressure, and diabetes; prolong natural fertility and have children in your forties; lose weight effortlessly without a trendy diet; reverse aging to look, feel, and physically be ten years younger; and turn cancer into a manageable condition you can live with indefinitely. That’s the picture of the future that you can enter—starting today.

With “practical health information fortified with exciting news from the forefront of modern medical technology” (Kirkus Reviews), this is an essential, important read. “If you have made a new year’s resolution to get healthier, you’ll find a buddy in David B. Agus’s new book” (The Boston Globe). Welcome to the Lucky Years.

Just ok

This book talks a lot about the "future" starting many statements with "In the future..." The thing is it really does not provide much practical advice! Here's the summary then you can skip the whole book. Exercise, touching, sleep are good. Baby aspirin and statins are maybe good. Sitting around all day, smoking, and not getting enough sleep are bad....nothing life changing presented in this material.

Drugs not more relevant than diet & vitamins

Good Naration. In diminishing holistic approach, author encourages listener to question legitimacy of book.

Hopeful Future of Medicine

Knowing that most of the drugs mankind needs to stay well is already on the pharmacy shelves is a noteworthy claim to say the least.
we will all need an advanced artificial intelligence wrist watch to guide us through our health issues for our continued longevity.

Listened to it with the kids in the car.

Good book. Presented well. Empowering and smart. It held the kids' attention as well as mine.

Excellent book for those with foresight

Just what I needed to take advantage of the current and near future advances in medicine and other areas of science and technology. Highly recommended!!
