This book is a compelling dive into the science of aging, backed by Professor Kenny’s 35 years at the forefront of aging research. She argues that 80% of how we age is within our control, offering hope and practical steps to not just extend life but enhance its quality. Drawing from her work with The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), Kenny breaks down complex science into clear, everyday advice—think food, exercise, friendships, and even laughter as tools to keep your cells young. It’s optimistic, readable, and grounded in evidence, not hype. Some might find the scope broad rather than deep, but that’s its strength: a accessible guide for anyone from 20 to 120 wanting to live better, longer. Shortlisted for the 2022 Royal Society Science Book Prize, it’s a solid, inspiring read for the curious and proactive.
