Longevity resource I put together

#1

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.

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!!!

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.

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 :).

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.
