I read this book because, probably like most of you, I'd like to live healthier for longer/indefinite.** Good points **Ray provides some very valuable ideas that challenge way we think, e.g. just because we automatically associate the two together there is a difference between biological age and chronological age, the two don't necessarily have to go hand in hand.I found the book inspirational because of presentation of genuine facts of how rapidly technology is advancing exponentially. For example, in 100,000 years of human civilisation, 230 years ago there was not even a steam engine..now we have machines that can fly and take man to space..! In the 1960's a computer was the size of a room, cost 100 million dollars.. half a decade later we have computers 100,000 times more powerful in our pockets..! Imagine the advancements in the next 30 years with these super powerful computers! Ray points out these achievements will not just be in electronics/computers.. but now in nanotechnology and medicine.. with profound results.He mentions there are 9 processes of ageing and talks how research is being done that reverses these processes, and how we can slow some of these natural effects down until technology solves the issues.** Less good points **I think couple of his facts were not up-to-date, e.g. aspartamine, the artificial food sweeter, has been declared 'safe' with recent studies and there is no evidence found for causing various diseases it has been accused of. However, to be fair, Ray did say 'Aspartamine **may** cause these diseases so better to avoid' which I think was a sensible precaution.There was a section on exercise positions/movements which I think was a waste of space & a dry read.. you can't describe exercises in words.. would have been much better to just recommends joining a yoga class or giving resources where to get training.. then again, exercise is something I'm very familiar with so perhaps this section was useful for those who are not.** Overall **Overall, inspirational book to read containing practical advice. Definite worth a read.. and I really hope his predictions are correct :)P.s. let me know if this review was helpful for you and I can leave some more. Cheers guys

I found this book very interesting as living a healthy life is very important to me. As I am not an expert ,I did not know how to keep the cells of my body at their best but after reading this book, I know what I should be doing.

This is an easy read and a wonderful guide to taking your life into control. Thorough explanations and guidelines make it worth while.

Interesting book, but I had expected something more original including the possibility of transferring human brain content to a machine. The health advices are quite classical and I have the feeling that any trained nutritionist or "hypocratic" doctor would give more efficient advice as it would match the clinical diagnostic of the patient.

I like the way Ray writes and this book is a great tool to extend the lifespan of your health. However I have found myself expanding my supplements selection significantly :)

An easy read and makes you think about steps to improve your current health. Builds on themes from his earlier books.

Very informative publication.
