Longevity resource I put together (The Layman's Longevity Guide)

[Paul_2.0]

Hey everyone,

So I’ve been contributing here for a while now, though not as regularly as I used to. I finally finished something I’ve been working on for ages – a longevity guide I originally started writing for myself and friends who kept asking me questions.

It turned into a book: “The Layman’s Longevity Guide: Why Living to 120 Is Closer Than You Think”

Honestly, most of you here know way more than what’s in it, but I figured I’d share in case it’s useful for anyone who’s newer to all this or has family/friends asking where to even start. It’s got the basics (sleep, diet, exercise) but also rapamycin, acarbose, newer stuff like TPE and exosomes – basically everything I wish someone had handed me when I first got interested in this space.

It’s a short read, and it’s free on Kindle. I also give the forum an honorable mention.

Anyway, thought it might be helpful to someone. Let me know if you check it out.

Fantastic!!! Congratulations on doing something like this!!!

I just downloaded it!

PS, just came back to say you are a very good writer… very engaged already and easy to read…

[LaraPo]

Thank you for the link! It’s a good idea to prepare such guide. I’ll buy one! Is it sold as hard cover? Could be a good gift - Christmas is coming!!!

[DrG]

Thanks! Do you have a pdf version of the book?

[Paul_2.0]

Thanks so much. I really just wanted to contribute something. Hope you get something out of it. Its short but it was the culmination of a lot of research.

[Paul_2.0]

It’s only downloadable as an ebook at the moment. It’s possible to format it as a paperback I think. I’ll see if I can do that.
My friends have been trying to persuade me to do an audiobook version.

[Paul_2.0]

You should just be able to download the kindle version I believe.

Came back to say it was fantastic!! What a fabulous resource to share with friends and those who are longevity curious! I even learned about a few things I was unaware of.

It was written in a very conversational manner and quite easy for me to comprehend everything and finish in one day (you are obviously a professional writer!). If you knew my ADD brain, you would know what a miracle that it… my mind usually wanders and it takes me forever to get through anything, but not this.

This definitely lends itself to being an audiobook.

I loved that you added a glossary!!! And then after that, you listed various resources and included a quick cheat sheet so someone can just start instead of trying to navigate the vast world of competing voices.

I left you a review, too :).

[Paul_2.0]

Wow. Honestly, I’m flattered, and happy that you found it easy to digest, that was the intention. I felt there’s a lot of complex information out there, and well it doesn’t have to be.
Hugely appreciate the kind words and the review. I’ll look into recording the audiobook version soon.

[Paul_2.0]

Thanks so much for the lovely review. It took a while to show up. It’s greatly appreciated.

[Billygxx]

Just wanted to say that I would purchase the paperback or audiobook. Offering encouragement.

[Paul_2.0]

Thank you. Yes, I’m going to find a way to record an audio version as soon as I can.

[blsm]

I just got it on Kindle. Thanks

[Paul_2.0]

Thanks so much. I hope it’s useful. Do let me know what you think.

[LaraPo]

Requirement for paperback is 24 pages minimum and for hardcover - at least 75 pages.

[Paul_2.0]

It’s quite a short read but it’s longer than both those. It’s probably too short for a hard cover. I purposely made it short.

[blsm]

I read it, enjoyed it and reviewed it. The book is a no nonsense guide and exactly as you described it. It provides a great framework for getting started.
Thanks so much for putting this resource together.

I would very much love to be able to read this. Is anyone else getting this message when the try to purchase it?

EDIT: Has anyone outside the US been able to access this?

[Paul_2.0]

Hey Drew, thanks so much for the interest! I think message usually pops up if Amazon temporarily flags a regional restriction or cache issue.
Here’s a direct link instead: Amazon.com: The Layman's Longevity Guide: Why Living To 120 Is Closer Than You Think: A Resourse For People Interested in Aging Research and Products eBook : McKeown, Paul: Kindle Store

If that doesn’t work, you and try logging out and back into your Amazon account or switching to the U.S. store (.com).

Hope that solves the problem.

[Paul_2.0]

Thanks so much for the lovely review. You basically summed up what I was hoping the book would do: Give people a place to start without having to do months of research. Thanks!
