The author of this book is a physician and, although marketed to the general public, this book would be more useful to those in the medical community. He discusses a number of ways to increase lifespan including lifestyle, supplements and drugs. There are numerous research studies summarized with a good number of charts included. The book is organized into chapters that discuss various aspects of the study of aging including genetics, lifestyle, cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegeneration and others. One concluding statement was hopeful: "We are going to see major progress in prevention of age-related diseases and preserving organ-specific health". As a nutritionist and one who believes in the powers of diet, exercise and other lifestyle habits, I agree with one of Topol's conclusions. "We need to maintain our healthy aging, predominately by focusing on lifestyle plus means, so that we can get to the next phase of digital biology deliverables".
