I have never been as disappointed with a book in my whole life as with Eric Topal's Super Agers. As an older person and stroke survivor with residual damage (whatever that means) in the process of making lifestyle changes to reduce risk factors, I simply wanted advice how to live longer and have the remaining years be good quality ones. I imagine this is something most of us would like to know.
I found about one chapter useful. Most of the text is replete with multisyllabic jargon embedded in sentences that you'd probably have to be a doctor or medical researcher to understand. I know that a lot of the paragraphs left me wondering, WTF?
But the problem was not with the book; it was with me. I'm sure that for experts in medical advances who want contribute to this ultra important field of study Super Agers: An Evidence Based Approach To Longevity would be the cat's pajamas...
...But if you, like me, are a mere mortal wanting to live your best life in its second half..
...don't bother with it.
On a purrrsonal note, I am so looking forward to Saturday. Amber and Brian are having a family cookout and Katie and Adam are coming up from Southern Maine. Nothing I love more than quality time with Eugene and our kids.
A great big shout out goes out to my wonderful family including precious Tobago.
Oh yeah the clue: some people consider the procedure I'm going in for to be an art form. And I've seen some really beautiful ones.
