It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan?In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.”This book takes us to the frontlines of research many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it.

Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times Science bestseller Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

"Utterly fascinating." —Bill Bryson"An incredible journey." —Siddhartha MukherjeeA groundbreaking exploration of the science of longevity and mortality—from Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist Venki RamakrishnanThe knowledge of death is so terrifying that we live most of our lives in denial of it. One of the most difficult moments of childhood must be when each of us first realizes that not only we but all our loved ones will die—and there is nothing we can do about it.Or at least, there hasn’t been. Today, we are living through a revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in understanding why we age—and why some species live longer than others. Could we eventually cheat disease and death and live for a very long time, possibly many times our current lifespan?Venki Ramakrishnan, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and former president of the Royal Society, takes us on a riveting journey to the frontiers of biology, asking whether we must be mortal. Covering the recent breakthroughs in scientific research, he examines the cutting edge of efforts to extend lifespan by altering our physiology. But might death serve a necessary biological purpose? What are the social and ethical costs of attempting to live forever?Why We Die is a narrative of uncommon insight and beauty from one of our leading public intellectuals.

Gold Award Winner, 2024 Nonfiction Book Awards Runner-up, 2024 History category, San Francisco Book Festival Runner-up, 2024 General Non-Fiction, New York Book Festival For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart—not the brain—was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed as people sought to understand the life forces it contains. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography. This book traces the evolution of our understanding of the heart from the dawn of civilization to the present. Vincent M. Figueredo—an accomplished cardiologist and expert on the history of the human heart—explores the role and significance of the heart in art, culture, religion, philosophy, and science across time and place. He examines how the heart really works, its many meanings in our emotional and daily lives, and what cutting-edge science is teaching us about this remarkable organ. Figueredo considers the science of heart disease, recent advancements in heart therapies, and what the future may hold. He highlights the emerging field of neurocardiology, which has found evidence of a “heart-brain connection” in mental and physical health, suggesting that ancient views hold more truth than moderns suspect. Ranging widely and deeply throughout human history, this book sheds new light on why the heart remains so central to our sense of self.

Foreword by Dave Asprey A breakthrough program for women to revive their lost energy and vitality, developed by a leading biohacker and physician Inside of you, there is a spark—it’s what animates you, and without it, you could not live. This energy creation isn’t mystical, nor is it spiritual; it is science. We know from research that our cellular machinery transforms the food we eat and the air we breathe into the electricity that fuels us. With the right lifestyle inputs, we glow with energy; but when the demands on our bodies exceed our capacity—as is true for so many of us—we become burned out, mentally and physically.  Now, in The Spark Factor, Dr. Molly Maloof shares a program uniquely tailored to the biology of women—a plan that targets the mitochondria, the power source of the cells. As Dr. Maloof shows, the intense, all-or-nothing approaches commonly used by biohackers to optimize health—including sustained fasting, ultra-low-carb diets, and intense training—can be harmful, especially for women, because they create excessive stress in an already-stressed body, which can make us tired, weak, and prone to illness. Dr. Maloof’s innovative program—which has been used successfully by her patients—offers lifestyle changes that target the unique biology of women and provide immediate and long-term benefits. Instead of denying our bodies, we need to listen to what they are telling us. Once we become aware of our physical needs, we can give ourselves the resources to become more connected, nourished, safe, and strong—at both the micro- and the macro-level. With cutting-edge biohacking insights, strategies for personalized nutrition, hormonal health and stress management, The Spark Factor is the book women have been waiting for to help them reclaim their vitality and achieve lasting health.

In This Accessible And Groundbreaking Book -- Filled With The Moving Stories Of Real People -- Medical Doctor And Bestselling Author Of Scattered Minds, Gabor Maté, Shows That Emotion And Psychological Stress Play A Powerful Role In The Onset Of Chronic Illness. Western Medicine Achieves Spectacular Triumphs When Dealing With Acute Conditions Such As Fractured Bones Or Life-threatening Infections. It Is Less Successful Against Ailments Not Susceptible To The Quick Ministrations Of Scalpel, Antibiotic Or Miracle Drug. Trained To Consider Mind And Body Separately, Physicians Are Often Helpless In Arresting The Advance Of Most Of The Chronic Diseases, Such As Breast Cancer, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, And Even Alzheimer’s Disease. Gabor Maté Has Found That In All Of These Chronic Conditions, There Is A Common Thread: People Afflicted By These Diseases Have Led Lives Of Excessive Stress, Often Invisible To The Individuals Themselves. From An Early Age, Many Of Us Develop A Psychological Coping Style That Keeps Us Out Of Touch With The Signs Of Stress. So-called Negative Emotions, Particularly Anger, Are Suppressed. Dr. Maté Writes With Great Conviction That Knowledge Of How Stress And Disease Are Connected Is Essential To Prevent Illness In The First Place, Or To Facilitate Healing. When The Body Says No Is An Impressive Contribution To Current Research On The Physiological Connection Between Life’s Stresses And Emotions And The Body Systems Governing Nerves, Immune Apparatus And Hormones. With Great Compassion And Erudition, Gabor Maté Demystifies Medical Science And, As He Did In Scattered Minds, Invites Us All To Be Our Own Health Advocates. Excerpt From When The Body Says No “only An Intellectual Luddite Would Deny The Enormous Benefits That Have Accrued To Humankind From The Scrupulous Application Of Scientific Methods. But Not All Aspects Of Illness Can Be Reduced To Facts Verified By Double-blind Studies And By The Strictest Scientific Techniques. We Confine Ourselves To A Narrow Realm Indeed If We Exclude From Accepted Knowledge The Contributions Of Human Experience And Insight. . . . “in 1892 William Osler, One Of The Greatest Physicians Of All Time, Suspected Rheumatoid Arthritis To Be A Stress-related Disorder. Today Rheumatology All But Ignores That Wisdom, Despite The Supporting Scientific Evidence That Has Accumulated In The 110 Years Since Osler First Published His Text. That Is Where The Narrow Scientific Approach Has Brought The Practice Of Medicine. Elevating Modern Science To Be The Final Arbiter Of Our Sufferings, We Have Been Too Eager To Discard The Insights Of Previous Ages.” From The Hardcover Edition.
