Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents Ageless written and read by Andrew Steele.
'A stunner ... If you haven't got this book in your house, I don't know why' Chris Evans
'A startling wake-up call . . . Writing with the vim of a Bill Bryson and the technical knowledge of a scientist, Steele gives us a chance to grasp what's at stake' Independent
'An exhilarating journey . . . Steele is a superb guide' Telegraph
'A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with extraordinary facts . . . Read it now' Mail on Sunday
Ageless is a guide to the biggest issue we all face. Ageing – not cancer, not heart disease – is the world's leading cause of death and suffering. What would the world be like if we could cure it?
Living disease-free until the age of 100 is achievable within our lifetimes. In prose that is lucid and full of fascinating facts, Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for this revolution. Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what occurs biologically as we age, as well as practical ways we can slow down the process. He reveals how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of civilization – one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.

Fascinating. Loved it. An absolute must-listen!
Stick with this book as it takes a while to get into its stride but, once it does, it is absolutely fascinating. Now that I'm 57 years old, I listened in the hope that it might add a few more years to my life, but now accept that the developments it discusses are still in their infancy and so will be be enjoyed by my children and grandchildren rather than by my generation. But what a fascinating read/listen nonetheless. Not only did I learn so much but I was left in awe of the genius of the human body and those scientists who work with it. Absolutely recommended.

Great information
Slightly technical for me especially while listening, but definitely a good read for those interested in longevity research

Fantastic
I had listened to a few books on this subject matter even though I was familiar with the jargon this made it it so much easier to understand. I feel that it was a lot more down to earth.
