The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time Audio CD – Unabridged, April 5, 2016

I am 34 and i am trying to age as gracefully as possible. I think I'm doing good so far but this answers questions I didn't even know I had. Every woman in their 30's needs this book.

Like all of us, Cameron Diaz is getting older. When she turned 40, she discovered that by Hollywood standards she's over-the-hill. Moreover, she learned that back in 1850, the average life expectancy of a woman was only 40 years. These realizations inspired her to take an in-depth look at aging, including the science, biology, and history behind why and how we age. She interviewed prominent doctors, scientists and aging specialists to ascertain the latest research into how the body ages. In this fascinating book, Cameron shares with us what she’s learned from these experts and how we can apply this to our lives. In the first half, Cameron explores such topics as the silver tsunami, geroscience, the biological differences between how men and women age, aging on a cellular level, and menopause. These topics are covered in great detail, and she includes figures, diagrams and illustrations equivalent to what you would find in a textbook. The second half covers how to slow down aging and even prolong your life, including recommendations on what to eat, how to manage stress and how to strengthen and support your brain.As a physician, I found her research fascinating and her recommendations on-the-mark. I would recommend this to all of my female patients who want to gain a clear understanding of what they can do to maintain vitality throughout their later years. A great companion to this book is Dr. Anthony Youn's  The Age Fix: A Leading Plastic Surgeon Reveals How to Really Look 10 Years Younger . While Cameron's book gives great lifestyle guidelines for slowing down aging, Dr. Youn's new book (he's a plastic surgeon) tops that information off with practical tips & treatments to look younger. The two books combine to give the reader a master's course in anti-aging.Kudos to Cameron for writing a book of substance, above-and-beyond all of the vapid celebrity tomes. This one will improve people’s lives and help them live longer and healthier.

Love it. I loved the body book and love this. Even if you aren’t the biggest Cameron Diaz fan you can’t argue that she really takes care of herself. This book made me not fear aging it actually made me want to take all steps to make sure I take care of myself the best that I can

Good

A good treatise on our least-favorite topic, and Cameron does it with style and objectivity. Seller gave a great value and delivered promptly. Thanks!

...And then I bought this for my sisters and best friends. LOVE it! Written in a very consumable way--easy to relate to and smartly designed.

Excellent book! I do not understand though why it's paper has the same horrible odor the body book has as well! I wish they had opted for more quality when they had to decide the paper provider!!!

Was good reading with good basic healthcare info, enough sleep.water less stress and we are all a product of our mothers.pass it on to a friend 30 years my junior and she also enjoyed it

Arrived quickly and was well packaged. I did not know what this was going to be like. I have been impressed so far with Cameron's easy talk and common sense. During the lockdown it has been there for me to have someone ,like a friend, to hear and laugh along with. Menopause can be very lonely at any stage as every woman has it differently. So I am glad I bought this book and will read on, but it is also nice to know it is there unread. Would recommend this book and yes I do have real friends but sometimes you don't want the world to know everything. She is funny and embracing of change and age. I think she is grounded, intelligent and her own woman. I did not think of her in that light before. Would recommend

So packed of information about ageing but delivered in an upbeat and inspiring manner. This is a book I'll be gifting to girlfriends who want to make some life changes and are in need of an encouraging, uplifting voice.

This a very enriching and truthful book about our lives and ageing, It gives us advice about what action we can take to help us live long and healthy lives. Invaluable advice backed up by science.

This book is filled with wisdom and inspiration and a must read for all women over a certain age. It is a perfect balance between science and experience. It offers courage and motivation to embrace life, no matter what our age might be.

I bought this as I really enjoyed the previous book. Super informative read, goes into the real science - its not all about quick fixes and putting poison in your body , but rather choices that can help you both for body and mind.
