"If you ever wondered how we age, if we can slow or even reverse
aging, and if we can live a healthy 100 plus years, then David

your lifespan long and vibrant."--Mark Hyman, MD, director of the

sociology, and morality, Sinclair convinces us that it is not only

will be able to one day do so. If you are someone who wants to know
how to beat aging, Lifespan is a must-read."--William W. Li,

our grandchildren, but our great-grandchildren. This is Sinclair's
vision for the future of humankind, a vision that looks to science,
nature, history, and even politics to make the case that it is

leading the way."--Jason Fung, MD, author of The Diabetes Code and
The Obesity Code
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr. David Sinclair and
following his groundbreaking research into the causes and reversal
of aging for many years. In Lifespan, David takes us on an
entertainingly wild ride into both the author's fascinating
personal journey of discovery and his seminal research into why we
age. But more importantly, he provides us with the everyday tools
that we can all use to stop what he now calls 'the disease of
aging.'. . . You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to read and

transcends everything we know about aging and longevity--a
combination of brilliant scientific work, a pioneering mind, and
the dream for a longer, healthier and happier life. Lifespan
provides a vision for our future and the roadmap on how to get
there, merging scientific breakthroughs and simple lifestyle
changes to not only help us feel younger, but actually become
younger."--Naomi Whittel, New York Times bestselling author of

"I have written about the brilliant work of David Sinclair for over
fifteen years and have watched his life's mission of using science
to slow the scourge of old age and dying move from the outer edge
to more mainstream biology (he's still pushing boundaries!) as his
careful work in the lab has steadily shed light on how the
mechanisms of aging work in humans and in other organisms. In
Lifespan, the full force of his optimism, humor, and
soft-spoken eloquence as a storyteller-scientist come through. I
was charmed and delighted by his skill at blending his own life's
narrative and others' with clear and levelheaded explanations of
some very complex and emerging science. I'm hoping we have David
Sinclair with us and doing his science and writing books for
another 500 years, give or take a century."--David Ewing Duncan,
award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and curator of Arc
Fusion
"Lifespan gives us hope for an extraordinary life. As the
brilliant Dr. David Sinclair explains, aging is a disease, and that

extended health lifespan? Enjoy this must read masterpiece!"--Peter
H. Diamandis, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Abundance
and Bold
"A tour de force. Sinclair's book, and his life's work ranks with
humanity's greatest contributions to helping enhance the joy and
happiness of life, ranking with the works of Jenner, Pasteur, Salk,
Locke, Gandhi, and Edison. Lifespan is a groundbreaking
literary triptych that expertly combines the science of living
longer, a practical checklist to unleash our inner potential for
healthy longevity, and a brilliant philosophical, policy and
ethical synthesis. A masterpiece."--Martine Rothblatt, founder,
Chairwoman of the Board, and CEO of United Therapeutics and creator
of SiriusXM Satellite Radio
"Stepping on the moon changed humanity. In Lifespan,
Sinclair takes the ultimate step for humanity that will transform
our lives beyond anything we could ever have imagined. If you can

book you will ever read. The author is bold, the science is
profound, and our future is here."--Henry Markram, PhD, professor
at EPFL, Switzerland, director of the Blue Brain Project, and
founder of Frontiers open-access journals
"For years, the aging field has been about vitamins, juicebars, and
snake oil. Now, in a seminal book, Harvard Professor David Sinclair
has changed the landscape: he has combined precise science,
practical translation, and autobiography to produce a rare book
that is insightful, inspiring, and informative. He has translated a
wealth of molecular detail into a program that we can all use to
live longer and healthier. This is part of the ongoing revolution
in aging and chronic disease, and there is no one who is better
suited to write such an authoritative book than David Sinclair. For
anyone interested in understanding the aging process, living
longer, and avoiding the diseases of aging, this is the book
to read."--Dale Bredesen, MD, New York Times bestselling author of
The End of Alzheimer's

of the recent past and a near future that will see 90 become the
new 70. In a succession of colorfully titled chapters ('The
Demented Pianist', 'A Better Pill to Swallow'), Sinclair and
LaPlante weave a masterful narrative of how we arrived at this
crucial inflection point."--Nature Journal
