Ratings and reviews

A great starter to extending your lifespan. Definitelty gets a bit dense in the middle, and tough to read through. Would be great if they made a 2020 update for this book or an app with the latest recommendations and tools. Web resources at the end are the closest thing to this.

The book is detailed in the science of the subject, and also points exactly what steps need to be taken.

A must read for any learners of the preservation of one's own health & making smarter lifestyle choices for themselves.
