Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity
About this product
A New York Times Bestseller
Super Agers is a detailed guide to a revolution transforming human longevity. This is a breakthrough moment in the history of human health care. The person making that bold claim is one of the most respected medical researchers in the world, Eric Topol.
Dr. Topol’s unprecedented, evidenced-based guide is about how you and your family and friends can benefit from new treatments coming available at a faster rate than ever. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr. Topol also explains the fundamental reasons—from semaglutides to AI—that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue. Ninety-five percent of Americans over sixty have at least one chronic disease and almost as many have two. That is the essential problem this revolution is solving. He explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers—diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration—and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Dr. Topol describes.
The amazing discoveries Topol brings into sharp focus are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself. Read more
Editor's Take
Readers on Goodreads describe Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity as a strong, science-driven book that clearly explains current longevity research and future medical approaches to extending healthspan. Some reviewers call it detailed, approachable, and highly informative, especially for readers interested in evidence-based medicine and aging science.
Other reader feedback is more mixed: some StoryGraph reviewers say it can feel dry, textbook-like, or too data-heavy, with limited practical action steps in some sections. A few readers still appreciate its breadth and accuracy, even when they find the presentation dense.
On YouTube, search results surfaced a few videos that appear to discuss the book directly, including review-style content in English, Japanese, and Thai. The strongest match is a Japanese video explicitly describing the book as a comprehensive review of the latest science on healthy longevity, while other clips appear to be chapter-specific or topic-specific discussions about the same title.
Overall, the public reaction is that the book is authoritative and evidence-based, but more appealing to readers who want a research-heavy treatment of longevity than to those looking for light, actionable self-help advice.
