TRANSCEND: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever by Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman, MD, published April 28, presents an easy-to-follow, practical, nine-step program to dramatically slow down aging and disease processes “so that you can be in good health when we get dramatic new technologies that will enable us to essentially reprogram the outdated ‘software’ (our genes) that runs in our bodies,” said Kurzweil. “These new methods are only ten to fifteen years away.”

“Even today, aggressive application of the best diagnostic testing as outlined in TRANSCEND enables detection of disease at earlier stages,” Grossman added. “That allows for more effective and successful treatments to a far greater extent than most people realize.”

TRANSCEND also updates the scientific studies in their previous health book, Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever.

The TRANSCEND mnemonic (Talk with your doctor, Relaxation, Assessment, Nutrition, Supplementation, Calorie reduction, Exercise, New technologies, Detoxification) makes it easy to remember the steps, each important to maintain good health.

TRANSCEND also includes updated information on nutrition, supplementation, testing, health research, and technologies, and includes engaging dialogues with future avatars of the authors discussing the technology revolutions that will be occurring at an accelerating pace in the years ahead.
