A long life doesn't have to feel like an endurance run against one's own transience. It can feel like a good walk: curious, light, surprising - and above all, human. It is precisely this view of health that Nils Behrens opens. He has been accompanying some of the most exciting minds in modern medicine for years, talking to doctors, researchers, psychologists, therapists, neurobiologists and experts from all over the world in his podcast "Healthwise" - from Prof. Dr. Andreas Michalsen and Dr. Yael Adler to Dr. Judith Bildau, Dr. Cordelia Schott, Bas Kast, Dr. Andrea Gartenbach or the longevity expert Nina Ruge. But instead of pressing the findings of these conversations into tables or turning them into dogmatic biohacks, Behrens does something unusual: He takes readers through the big topics of longevity research - exercise, nutrition, sleep, prevention, mental health, social ties - without the exaggerated promises of the scene, but with the necessary amazement for the real progress. Because Longevity is not the arms race of the Silicon Valley immortals. It is the quiet art of prolonging the healthy years - not the mere clock of life. It's about Healthspan, not just lifespan. It's about smart, small decisions. About a life that is not perfect, but resilient. And about the question that is asked far too rarely: Why do we want to live longer at all? This book is the antidote to the pressure to perform in the biohacking scene: an invitation to live health in a relaxed, light and joyful way. Or as bestselling author Prof. Dr. Andreas Michalsen (Charité) puts it: "Refreshing, well-founded, clear and at the same time peppered with the knowledge of his countless expert podcasts, Nils Behrens gets to the heart of the current state of knowledge on the subject of longevity and provides the most important advice for implementation. If you are interested in longevity, you should read this book."
