“What we know is a drop, what we do not know is an ocean.” – Isaac Newton
When the fascinating story of the longevity pathways mTOR, AMPK, and sirtuins spread around the globe in the form of 'Lifespan', many thought that this was all there was to say about longevity and health preservation. In fact, there are many ways to Rome, and numerous researchers are just as willing as David Sinclair to share their longevity theories with the world. Longevity is not only medicine and biology, but also economics and technology. For this reason, longevity investors and people with non-medical backgrounds also have a voice in the literature.
We have compiled here a (constantly growing) list of longevity books that both educate and inspire. Don't like to read? Most longevity information can also be consumed in the form of audiobooks .We wish you happy reading (or listening)!

The End of Aging: The Revolutionary Medicine of Tomorrow (Lifespan)
– David A. Sinclair, Matthew D. LaPlante, Sebastian Vogel
David A. Sinclair has achieved one of the greatest breakthroughs in biology: he has not only slowed down aging in laboratory animals but reversed it. If the trials with humans at Harvard University are successful, the first anti-aging pill will soon be on the market. Our genome suffers damage over the decades. These damages to our DNA strands cause us to age and make us more susceptible to diseases. The epigenome – that pulsating structure in which our genome is wrapped – determines which of our genes become active and which do not. When genes are turned off, it harms the organism. David A. Sinclair is researching how to reactivate the right genes and thus heal the organism.
Lifespan: The Revolutionary Science of Why We Age – and Why We Don’t Have to
– David A. Sinclair & Matthew D. LaPlante
From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting book shows how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls readers to consider a future where aging can be treated.
For decades, experts have believed that we are at the mercy of our genes, and that natural damage to our genes-the kind that inevitably happens as we get older-makes us become sick and grow old. But what if everything you think you know about aging is wrong? What if aging is a disease-and that disease is treatable? Lifespan provides a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future when humankind is able to live to be 100 years young.

The Kaufmann Protocol: Why we Age and How to Stop it
– Sandra Kaufmann
Das Kaufmann-Protokoll ist der erste umfassende Ansatz zum Thema Altern, der erklärt, warum wir altern, und dann eine strategische, wissenschaftliche Formulierung empfiehlt, um den Prozess zu verlangsamen. Das Buch bietet praktische Informationen für den Alltag und bringt die Wissenschaft des Alterns aus dem Labor in die reale Welt. Die erste Hälfte des Kaufmann-Protokolls behandelt das Altern auf zellulärer Ebene, was es von allen anderen Anti-Aging-Trends unterscheidet. Wir altern, weil unsere Zellen altern, und dieses Verständnis ermöglicht es dem Protokoll, das Altern für Menschen aus allen Lebensbereichen zu bekämpfen. Dies wird in Form der sieben Grundsätze oder Kategorien des Alterns präsentiert, die Themen wie DNA-Veränderungen, mitochondriale Energie und Alterungswege umfassen.

Aging becomes curable: Stay young with the power of the three cell competencies
– Nina Ruge, Dominik Duscher
Is aging an unavoidable fate? No – is the answer from modern gerontology. Because the body is indeed the proverbial marvel. The wonder begins in the cell, as moderator Nina Ruge and the renowned gerontologist Dr. Dominik Duscher describe in this new standard work on the subject. They take you on a journey of discovery into the latest findings from cell research and also share their personal assessments and experiences. The authors outline the processes of aging and show how it will be curable in the future: for example, with medications, stimulating nutrition, with the help of fasting, foreign blood, or stem cells. The focus is on the 3 fundamental abilities of the cells: natural cell renewal, detoxification at the cellular level, and stabilization of energy production.
Age Later: Health Span, Life Span, and the New Science of Longevity
– Nir Barzilai, Toni Robino
How do some people avoid the slowing down, deteriorating, and weakening that plagues many of their peers decades earlier? Are they just lucky? Or do they know something the rest of us don’t? Is it possible to grow older without getting sicker? What if you could look and feel fifty through your eighties and nineties?
Founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and one of the leading pioneers of longevity research, Dr. Nir Barzilai’s life’s work is tackling the challenges of aging to delay and prevent the onset of all age-related diseases including “the big four”: diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. In Age Later, Dr. Barzilai reveals the secrets his team has unlocked about SuperAgers and the scientific discoveries that show we can mimic some of their natural resistance to the aging process. Dieses aufschlussreiche und inspirierende Buch wird Ihnen helfen, das Altern nicht als Gewissheit, sondern als Phänomen zu betrachten—wie viele andere Krankheiten und Unglücke—die angegangen, verbessert und sogar geheilt werden können.
The Big Book of Sleep: The Enormous Importance of Sleep – The Best Prevention Against Alzheimer’s, Cancer, Heart Attack, and Much More
– Matthew Walker
Why sleep is so important: Prof. Dr. Matthew Walker, Director of the Sleep Laboratory at UC Berkeley, shares his groundbreaking research findings and highlights the enormous impact of nighttime rest. Sleep is one of the most important yet underestimated aspects of a healthy, long, and happy life. The right sleep makes us smarter, more attractive, slimmer, prevents cancer and dementia, strengthens the immune system, and reduces the risk of heart attack and diabetes.
Never old!: This is how aging can be reversed. Advances in rejuvenation research
– Aubrey de Grey, Michael Rae
Almost all aging researchers agree that aging will one day be able to be slowed down. Aubrey de Grey summarizes the latest findings (as of 2010) and shows that those biotechnologies that can not only delay physical decline but also periodically reverse it are already within reach. Aging results from an accumulation of forms of damage that we know. We are rapidly moving towards the development of therapies that can repair this damage. Through his demystification of the aging process, de Grey systematically dismantles the fatalistic assumption that aging must forever remain an unchangeable fate.

Durch den Verzehr köstlicher Lebensmittel und die Etablierung von gesunden Lebensgewohnheiten, die den genetischen Ausdruck positiv beeinflussen, reduzierten die Studienteilnehmer ihr biologisches Alter in nur acht Wochen um etwas mehr als drei Jahre! Jetzt teilt Dr. Fitzgerald den Ernährungs- und Lebensstilplan, der Ihnen zeigt, wie Sie Ihre Epigenetik für ein jüngeres Ich beeinflussen können.
The second code: EPIGENETICS or How we can control our genetic material
– Peter Spork
When the decoding of the human genome was accomplished, it was believed that soon all the secrets of our existence would be unveiled. Character, talent, diseases, life expectancy – there seemed to be a corresponding gene for everything. However, this notion was naive. For genes alone are nothing – how they act can be controlled. And not least by ourselves. Peter Spork takes us on a fascinating journey of discovery through the world of a revolutionary new science: epigenetics. He explains why even those people who have neither inherited cancer genes nor lived unhealthily repeatedly die of cancer. Why as an adult one is susceptible to certain diseases if one did not receive enough love as a baby. Why our lifestyle can sometimes even influence the fate of our grandchildren. And he shows what each of us can do to stay healthy and live as long as possible.
