About this ebook

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.

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.
