Chasing Life: New Discoveries in the Search for Immortality to Help You Age Less Today

The New York Times–bestselling author and CNN chief medical correspondent “explores longevity and how to add more healthy years to your life” (The Washington Post).

For centuries, adventurers and scientists have believed that not only could we delay death but that “practical immortality” was within our reach. Today, many well-respected researchers would be inclined to agree. In a book that is not about anti-aging, but about functional aging—extending your healthy, active life—Dr. Sanjay Gupta blends together compelling stories of the most up-to-date scientific breakthroughs from around the world, with cutting-edge research and advice on achieving practical immortality in this lifetime.

Gupta’s advice is often counterintuitive: longevity is not about eating well, but about eating less; nutritional supplements are a waste of your money; eating chocolate and drinking coffee can make you healthier. Chasing Life tells the stories behind the breakthroughs while also revealing the practical steps readers can take to help extend youth and life far longer than ever thought possible.

“Upbeat . . . [a] hopeful look to the future.” —The Wall Street Journal

“Is it possible to have the exquisite combination, the wisdom of experience along with biology of youth? In his book, Chasing Life, Dr. Sanjay Gupta shows you how.” —Deepak Chopra, MD, New York Times–bestselling author

“While Gupta’s mix of futuristic science and do-it-yourself advice is far from seamless, many readers will find the lessons in his tales of the long lived worthwhile.” —Publishers Weekly
