About this listen

How do some people avoid the slowing down, deteriorating, and weakening that plagues many of their peers decades earlier? Are they just lucky? Or do they know something the rest of us don’t? Is it possible to grow older without getting sicker? What if you could look and feel 50 through your 80s and 90s?

Founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and one of the leading pioneers of longevity research, Dr. Nir Barzilai’s life’s work is tackling the challenges of aging to delay and prevent the onset of all age-related diseases including “the big four”: diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s.

One of Dr. Barzilai’s most fascinating studies features volunteers that include 750 SuperAgers - individuals who maintain active lives well into their 90s and even beyond - and, more importantly, who reached that ripe old age never having experienced cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or cognitive decline.

In Age Later, Dr. Barzilai reveals the secrets his team has unlocked about SuperAgers and the scientific discoveries that show we can mimic some of their natural resistance to the aging process. This eye-opening and inspirational audiobook will help you think of aging not as a certainty, but as a phenomenon - like many other diseases and misfortunes - that can be targeted, improved, and even cured.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

“In this technical but promising book, Barzilai scrutinizes the lives of centenarians to find the key factors behind their healthy longevity. Readers who enjoy learning the science behind medical theories will be fascinated.” (Booklist)

“A thoughtful take on aging that should be of interest to all concerned with the overlap of health and aging.” (Library Journal)

This is a good read on the current research on what makes people live for a long time. The quality of writing and research are very good. One criticism of the book is that I wish it had more things readers can do now to slow aging.

The concept is good but it is targeting only Ashkenazi Jews in New York. It may be his comfort zone but at least the rest of the world out

Not relatable

interesting research happening on aging. I wondered if part of the purpose of the book was to promote the author's own financial stakes/ involvement.

The science seemed consistent with similar works I have read; better presented here in a few cases. The chest beating and moaning about funding were unwelcomed distractions.

Pretty good
