One of the Best 'Brainy' Books of This Decade - The GuardianA ground breaking book on the history of Telomeres offering fresh advice on how to slow down aging and lengthen life. Nobel prize winning Doctor Elizabeth Blackburn and leading health psychologist Dr Elissa Epel have discovered biological markers called Telomeres which can help to understand how healthy our cells are and what we can do to improve them. The book specifically looks ideas including; how biological age is not chronological age; a biological basis for the mind-body connection, how sleep and diet can affect telomeres and shockingly how mothers who are highly stressed during pregnancy have children with shorter telomeres. It also offers tools and advice on how to determine cellular age and telomere health. Doctor Elizabeth Blackburn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009 for her discovery of telomeres and their role in the ageing process and has previously been named in TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People.Dr. Elissa Epel is a leading health psychologist who has conducted pioneering research uncovering the psychobiological mechanisms related to how stress ages us and compromises our health-from emotional eating to unhealthy storage of abdominal fat to telomere shortening.

False confirmation bias on our telomeres

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 19 June 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is well researched and deeply rooted on the effects of chronic stress and its repercussions on our body cells. But there are some areas where the assessments itself does not make any sense which creates a false confirmation bias on ourself of our lifestyle and well being and is absurd from personal point of view.

This book opened up a whole new world of deeper understanding in me -- vital understanding to lead healthy lives -- at individual, community and social levels. That also makes it a highly spiritual book. Indispensable for those who are striving for happiness and trying hard to make the world a better place to live.

I ordered this book after watching her TED talk. The Telomere is such an important finding for the whole humanity. It reinforces our ancient eastern practices for wellbeing.
The book is well written.

The long and short of life

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 March 2017

Verified Purchase

Every human cell has chromosomes. Chromosomes carry our DNA that determine our genetic future. Telomeres are the tiny tails at the end of the chromosome – ‘less than one-tenth-thousandth of the total DNA of our cells’. Every time our cells subdivide, the telomere is shortened. This fascinating book is about how telomeres affect how fast our cells age and die. Thus the longer our telomeres (they differ from individual to individual) the longer we live.

This book gives an account of how DNA works and the role played by the telomere. It tells us how stress (even from childhood) can affect the length and quality of our telomeres. The authors subscribe to the view that our emotional health plays a part, as do physical well-being. That includes the right diet, plenty of exercise, and sufficient sleep.

Things and food that cause inflammation in our bodies are no good for telomeres. Smoking and sugar are bad (nothing new here) but random tests have shown (the authors say) that four cups of coffee a day for a month can lengthen telomeres and lower oxidative stress in the body.

The chapters on pregnancy and raising children seem a little like chapters from a pregnancy and parenting book, but the authors explain their relationship and importance to the well-being of our telomere. Before the reader runs out for a commercial telomere test lab to measure the length and health of his telomeres, the authors duly warn that the commercial labs running such tests are largely unregulated.

A breathtaking discovery in science. A must read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 April 2020

Verified Purchase

First of all this is a very well written and easy to understand book, so you don't need a background in science to understand it (although if you do you can see why this discovery is very exciting).
The reason I bought this book was because I watched Elizabeth Blackburn on Ted talks and wanted to find out more and funnily enough she and her colleague had written this book together.
I would fully recommend it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 July 2018

Verified Purchase

Very interesting read, quite enlightening scientifically and held in some nice gems on how to handle your mental state in a variety of situations & linking the benefits of these exercise back to the scientific evidence.

My only gripe about the book was at parts a little to repetitive on certain subjects, so much so that I skimmed over parts to get to the next section in some instances.

None the less a very interesting read for those of you out there who have interest in science & the effects/causes of ageing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I am interested in the whole subject of longevity. I bought this book in order to get a scientific view on the concept of ageing. So far I am half way through the book and it is fascinating. The great thing is that if we change our lifestyle we can alter our genes. I think we all know that deep down. It is good to have a scientific explanation as to why lifestyle changes are important. Would recommend this book. A fairly easy read and the science is explained clearly for the layperson.

Telomeres are the missing link

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 December 2017

Verified Purchase

The practical tips offered in this book are intuitive and common knowledge (e.g reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet, engage more in the community, exercise) but the explanations on how different lifestyle factors affect the telomeres are interesting!
