Critic Reviews

“I loved it. Bursting with insight and fabulous facts. The brain boost it gives you is enough to make you feel ten years younger on its own!”

In a field characterised by overclaiming and wishful thinking, it is judicious, sensible and refreshingly clear. And fascinating. Sunday Times
Nicklas Brendborg takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the science of ageing... he navigates this bustling discipline with graceful clarity, dispelling common myths along the way. New Scientist
A hugely enjoyable slice of popular science, full of memorable facts and sound advice. Daily Mail
Some species are effectively immortal, others induce suspended animation, others age backwards. And all humans do is senesce, so that everything from our minds down to each cell becomes more fragile and less resilient. Nicklas Brendborg accessibly guides the non-scientist through the science of aging and what's known about making it slower and gentler (along with judiciously debunking the ample pseudo-science). All written with a fun, appealing voice, making for a surprisingly upbeat read. -- Dr Robert Sapolsky, bestselling author of BEHAVE
This book will make readers marvel at the possibilities held by scientific discovery, and most of all at nature Nature Aging
-- Matt Warren, editor of The Conversation
Brendborg explores what could be a complicated and heavy subject so intriguingly, funnily and in such an accessible manner, that the end result is something that even traditionally fiction readers would enjoy. Publishing Post
Clear and fascinating The Sunday Times, Best Summer Reads
A highly-entertaining journey through the science of longevity. Why we age, and what we can do about it, explained in a clear and captivating way. A wonderful book Dr Kris Verbugh, Author of The Longevity Code
Aging can be delayed, prevented, and even reversed in several examples. Brendborg's book is storytelling that spans history and science, goes from nature to the laboratories, and discusses how we got here, what the future is and where we are going. Nicklas is young enough to grasp the details and connectivity yet mature enough to practice wisdom and manage expectations like a true geroscientist Dr Nir Barzilai, author of Age Later
