TRANSCEND: The Ray Kurzweil Plan to Live Healthy Until We Finish Evolving Into Cyborgs
Official description from Amazon:
Publication Date: April 28, 2009
In 2004, Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman, MD, published Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever. Their groundbreaking book marshaled thousands of scientific studies to make the case that new developments in medicine and technology will allow us to radically extend our life expectancies and slow down the aging process. Soon, our notion of what it means to be a 55-year-old will be as outdated as an eight-track tape player.
TRANSCEND: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever presents a practical, enjoyable program so that readers can live long enough (and remain healthy long enough) to take full advantage of the biotech and nanotech advances that have already begun and will be occurring at an accelerating pace during the years ahead. To help readers remember the nine key components of the program, Ray and Terry have arranged them into a mnemonic:
Talk with your doctor
Relaxation
Assessment
Nutrition
Supplementation
Calorie reduction
Exercise
New technologies
Detoxification
This easy-to-follow program will help readers transcend the boundaries of our genetic legacy and live long enough to live forever.

At the bottom of the article in tiny text it says “A daily book recommendation, usually attempting to fit the daily theme”.
Is the “daily theme” something explicitly shared with readers somewhere, or are we supposed to divine it from the content of articles?

When I clicked the link I was expecting satire, only to be reminded I am a living anachronism. Gotta love PJLifestyle for showing us all the facets! This idea is one I will avoid. I’ve lived long enough to know I don’t want to outlive my shelf life, and while I understand great “advances” are underway, I’d rather go the old-fashioned route.
