The Longevity Book

The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time

De: Cameron Diaz

Narrado por: Cameron Diaz, Sandy Rustin

Cameron Diaz follows up her number-one New York Times best seller, The Body Book, with a personal, practical, and authoritative guide that examines the art and science of growing older and offers concrete steps women can take to create abundant health and resilience as they age.

Cameron Diaz wrote The Body Book to help educate young women about how their bodies function, empowering them to make better-informed choices about their health and encouraging them to look beyond the latest health trends to understand their bodies at the cellular level. She interviewed doctors, scientists, nutritionists, and a host of other experts and shared what she'd learned - and what she wished she'd known 20 years earlier.

Now Cameron continues the journey she began, opening a conversation with her peers on an essential topic that for too long has been taboo in our society: the aging female body. In The Longevity Book, she shares the latest scientific research on how and why we age, synthesizing insights from top medical experts with her own thoughts, opinions, and experiences.

The Longevity Book explores what history, biology, neuroscience, and the women's health movement can teach us about maintaining optimal health as we transition from our 30s to midlife. From understanding how growing older impacts various bodily systems to the biological differences in the way aging affects men and women; the latest science on telomeres and slowing the rate of cognitive decline; how meditation heals us; and why love, friendship, and laughter matter for health, The Longevity Book offers an all-encompassing, holistic look at how the female body ages - and what we can all do to age better.

Without sugarcoating the hard facts - a 60-year-old body is different from a 35-five-year-old body no matter how much yoga you do - or romanticizing the upside - wisdom comes with age, if you live your life wisely - Cameron offers women a compassionate, informative, and intimate tour through the next stage of life.

Outstanding!

Loved it? Outstanding. Informative. Presented in a thoughtful manner. Enjoyable listen. She should write more.

One of my favorites!

As a 52 year old woman this has always been my go to book on aging, attitude and life. I read this book a few years back and have listened to the audible version a few times. Filled with amazing information and wisdom on aging for women. Well written and delivered. One of the few actresses in the world who I have respect for and enjoy. A must read for us aging women! I rarely do reviews!.

I agree with everything Cameron Diaz says

I've always been a huge fan of Cameron Diaz and I have kind of followed in her footsteps and this book just goes with everything about balance in your life and keeping healthy aging looking forward to growing Old and staying healthy through the years to come.

A great compliment to the body book

I loved this book even more than the body book because I faced my secret fear of aging and realized that fearing it is a joke. Women are like wine. They only get better with age! I loved that Cameron was so giving to us all by facing the fear that we assume she would have the most. Thanks

So great!

I love Cameron’s message. She is one of my idols now. Every woman should read (listen to) this book. I read The Body Book twice and listened to it three times (up to now). I’ve read this book once and listened to it twice.
It’s a reference book we should all have.
Thank you!

A good read

It was a good book. I would recommend it. although I do have concerns in the part where she discusses nutrition, after I have recently decided to go Vegan. But since this isn't a book based on Veganism, I would still give it high marks.

Great book. I wish Cameron read it tho.

I was distracted by the professional reader at times. She sounded a little like Ms. Diaz but an over the top version of her.

Change of mind set

Great book for someone like me who is just about to turn 40. Being a mother and an executive at my company I have not been paying attention to my health as well as I should be. This book made me think more about My biological and emotional health instead of always looking at the appearance

Good book

I very much enjoyed “The Longevity Book”
It was filled with a lot of information and suggestions .. I will hear it again , time went super fast while I was listening
Good Job Cameron

A wake up call, invite anyone to read this .

Easy read... her intention is to help many women who read this Book.
while I am a health care professional & should know all of this information.
I ignored that I do not apply this knowledge to myself.
I took no interest in age related health.
I have had a paradime shift , now planing on following books advise on growing old and staying strong.
loved book
