It is a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we've learned to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could determine our own lifespan?

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, a world-leading authority on genetics and longevity, unveils a bold new theory of why we age. He writes: “Ageing is a disease, and that disease is treatable.”

This book takes us to the forefront of research—much from Dr. David Sinclair's own laboratory at Harvard—that shows how we can slow down or even reverse aging. The key lies in activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival cycle that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it.
