Publisher's summary

In Transcend, famed futurist Ray Kurzweil and his coauthor, Terry Grossman, MD, present a cutting-edge, accessible program based on the vanguard in nutrition and science. They've distilled thousands of scientific studies to make the case that new developments in medicine and technology will allow us to radically extend our life expectancies and slow the aging process.

Transcend gives you the practical tools you need to live long enough (and remain healthy long enough) to take full advantage of the biotech and nanotech advances that have already begun and will continue to occur at an accelerating pace during the years ahead. To help you remember the nine key components of the program, Ray and Terry have arranged them into a mnemonic: Talk with Your Doctor, Relaxation, Assessment, Nutrition, Supplements, Calorie Reduction, Exercise, New Technologies, Detoxification.

This easy-to-follow program will help you transcend the boundaries of your genetic legacy and live long enough to live forever.

a little dated, but interesting

I only wish that audible would provide the charts and images from the book like they do with some others like it.

Misrepresented as a 2021 book. Actually is a 2009 book

The authors knew that much of the useful content of this book was included in tables, charts and lists. Yet they didn’t include and never created a pdf of this information (as all other books I have listened to). I paid for the book yet was not provided a significant amount of the information in a usable form.

No supplemental materials means useless

This audiobook is largely useless because it does not include any of the charts or tables. If the subject matter of this book is of genuine interest to you, this audiobook might as well be even more worthless than a paperweight (bc it can't even hold down paper). Shameful. If you're gonna spend the money on this, get a version that is actually useful. I regret wasting my money on this.

Out of date and inaccurate

I'm only on the 2nd chapter and can't finish this because it contains so much out of date and inaccurate information.

Well intended but misses the mark. Dont recommend.

The WORST

This was easily one of the worst listening experiences I’ve had with this app. No accompanying pdf for TONS of references to it. Multiple perspectives used in the book were confusing which made a bad situation even worse. I’ll admit the actual info was fascinating but literally everything else was terrible. Just not good.

Good but with no pdf, the audio version is not that useful

There are too many references to the printed version and without an accompanying pdf this audiobook is not as useful as it could have been. I won’t recommend getting the audiobook, rather buy the actual hard copy.
