This is exactly what the subtitle claims it to be: a modern guide to slowing aging and building sustainable vitality. In other words, increasing healthspan.

The methods at hand are the usual ones: dietary patterns, exercise types, sleep quality and quantity, gut health, stress management, hormones, social connection, purpose, other Blue Zone learnings, supplements, drugs, and an array of tests (to inform us as we go along).

The style is mostly to-the-point and informational; easy-reading, and with a modest bibliography at the back.

Sometimes there is an interesting disconnect, such as for example on the topic of Blue Zone lifestyles, it is asked “Can we adapt their wisdom in a modern life?” as though the Blue Zone supercentenarians are not our contemporaries and aren’t living in the same modern day that we are. It’s a very American “wait, what do you mean Icelanders have access to the Internet, don’t they live in igloos?” energy.

Bottom line: regular 10almonds readers may not learn much (or, possibly, anything) new here, but it is nice to have it all in one book.

Wishing you the very best of health every day, in every way,
