Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity

Great book and firmly based on solid science. Every assertion is backed up by including all resources data. This one is a keeper if you study or are interest in what is known to date on longevity of super agers.

Good factual book

Interesting book. Bought as a requested birthday present. The person who I gave it to was pleased.

Good but researching the earths Blue Zones will provide equivalent enlightenment Watch the Netflix series ‘How to live to 100 - secrets of The Blue Zones’

Didn't get very far in this book. Bought it after hearing the author on a podcast but find his writing style difficult. Also a lot of info on things / actions that are out of my control.

This is exactly what the longevity conversation needs. He cuts through the noise with clinical clarity — separating what’s actually evidence-based from what’s just wellness fluff. Even just a few chapters in, I’ve already made changes to how I think about aging and prevention. It’s sharp, actionable, and never drifts into speculation without anchoring things in data (i.e., it is clear about what is proven vs. what is purely observational / speculative). Also — the fact that it’s read by Topol himself makes a huge difference. You can hear the depth, the conviction, and frankly, the decades of credibility behind every line. A real scientist walking you through what matters.

I was eager to read this book because Nasim Taleb recommended it, and Nasim is such a statistics snob that if he liked it, then it must not be a pile of BS. It was a fascinating tour of the science of health in terms of what a healthy lifestyle could be, where we are in dealing with major health issues like obesity, heart, cancer and dementia/Alzheimer’s. It also gives the state of the art on rare diseases, our immune systems, infectious disease and mental health. Practically speaking, it gives a smattering of such conditional advice that it isn’t very practical, and one can’t help but be confused by overlong descriptions of things that might work but probably don’t. Where’s the hard-hitting practical advice? Why the over-dose of medical language that non-doctors/non-scientists don’t understand? Like most doctors, the author thinks his expertise in science makes him also qualified to provide political policy and economic prognostications, and he clearly doesn’t know the foggiest about economics, finance or public policy, so recognize your wheelhouse and stay there, bub.

Over complicated with medical jargon

Great book that puts everything into perspective that is evidence-based. A good side book to Dr.Greger's How NOt to Age. Everyone caught up in tiktok, instagram and "biohackers" who are NOT researchers should read this book as here's where the actual outcomes of studies is weighed properly. There are so many easy-to-read sections that will ease your mind and help your lifestyle. I use these two books in my personal training, cancer exercise, osteo fitness classes. All of the info. is so approachable and written in a way that will sit comfortably with any member of your family you hope to help. I loved his interviews with MelRobbins, Diary of a CEO which complemented the information in Superagers.

Intéressant

Aun con el ocasional humor norteamericano, es un libro que habla de investigaciones serias sobre el mejor envejecimiento fisiológico: morir joven lo más tarde que sea posible Una inversión redituable!

Great book.Most claims are well founded.

I have read all of Dr. Topol's books and this one is no exception. There is a lot of up to date information about studies relating to aging and the disease. The book does an excellent job of summarizing a vast array of technological tools that can be used for diagnosing or potentially treating diseases or conditions that can accelerate aging. If someone has put something out in a study, then likely you will read about it in this book. The book is a great reference and although you will understand it better with a science background, if you are willing to take the time to process the information or look at the graphs and diagrams, then you can at least have an awareness that you would not have had before getting the book. It is not a page turner from a storytelling perspective but it is in terms of all of the new and unique angles that are covered in this book that are's covered even in Dr. Attia's book Outlive or in Dr. Greger's book How Not to Age. Overall an informative and enjoyable read!
