Transcend

9 Steps to Living Well Forever

By: Ray Kurzweil, Terry Grossman MD

Narrated by: Adam Lofbomm

In Transcend, famed futurist Ray Kurzweil and his coauthor, Terry Grossman, MD, present a cutting-edge, accessible program based on the vanguard in nutrition and science. They've distilled thousands of scientific studies to make the case that new developments in medicine and technology will allow us to radically extend our life expectancies and slow the aging process.

Transcend gives you the practical tools you need to live long enough (and remain healthy long enough) to take full advantage of the biotech and nanotech advances that have already begun and will continue to occur at an accelerating pace during the years ahead. To help you remember the nine key components of the program, Ray and Terry have arranged them into a mnemonic: Talk with Your Doctor, Relaxation, Assessment, Nutrition, Supplements, Calorie Reduction, Exercise, New Technologies, Detoxification.

This easy-to-follow program will help you transcend the boundaries of your genetic legacy and live long enough to live forever.

confirms my understanding of the future

i think this audio book should open people's minds about the future, we should all be optimistic!

a little dated, but interesting

I only wish that audible would provide the charts and images from the book like they do with some others like it.

A tedious read

A confused effort. Not quite a book and not quite a manual. Veers between insight and prescription. Disappointing.

more practical than futurist

I was hoping for a lot more futurist content on potential medicines and whatnot in the future that will allow us to live longer. instead, it's far more practical, offering advice and guidelines on what to do today to "live long enough to live forever," which is admittedly a great line.

Must read

I think it's a must read for everyone, doesn't matter the age. In fact the younger the better.
