Description

Living longer is closer than we think.

Even before the first person set off to find the Fountain of Youth, we were on the lookout for a way to live longer. But promises of life extension have long reeked of snake oil, and regardless of our wishful thinking—not to mention the number of vitamins we pop—few of us consider we’ll live to see one hundred, much less set a longevity record.

But now scientists are closing in on true breakthroughs in anti-aging. Compounds that dramatically extend the health spans of animals, including mammals, have recently been demonstrated in the lab, and gerontologists now most often agree that drugs that slow human aging and greatly boost health in later life are no longer dream.

David Stipp, a veteran science journalist, tells the story of these momen­tous developments and the scientists at the back of them, providing a definitive, engaging account of probably the most most exciting (and now and again controversial) advances that promise to change the way we are living perpetually.
