Longevity Book Reviews
There are lots of books about aging and longevity, but they are not all equal. Our commitment to responsible journalism means that we will never promote books we have not read and that we will always give an honest review when we do. Education is a big part of our core mission, and we want our readers to be able to make informed decisions before deciding to buy a book or not.
If you are an author writing about aging and rejuvenation and you would like us to consider reviewing your book, please get in touch and make sure to include a full copy of the book.
