Great Age Reboot

An interesting read on possible upcoming medical advances that will extend people's lives, and the amount of those lives that they're healthy and happy. I was expecting more pop science than self-help, but it ended up leaning more towards the self-help sort of writing. Lots of advice on how to stave off age-related conditions. Interesting perspectives on population dynamics and their effect on the economy.

Bit weird in places, though. When the tone loosens up it often feels awkward, and it seems to do this as the discussions get more self-help-y. I'm always weirded out by books recommending all sorts of supplements and such, but this one at least says to discuss with your doctor. The weirdest part was talking about cosmetic procedures to look younger, which I kind of understand but talking about Botox injections a few pages after the benefits of omega-3s is jarring.

I listened to The Telomere Effect last year, and I think that was a bit better since it contained much of the same advice with less odd bits. So while this wasn't bad, I'd recommend reading that instead.
