The Brain That Chooses Itself

Personalized Strategies to Extend Your Healthspan

By: Mike Studer

Narrated by: Mike Studer

How is it that some people seem to age more slowly, live longer, or remain active later in life? Is it just luck? Are these individuals blessed with "good genes"? Science continues to ask the question about aging, “Is aging due to nature (our genes) or nurture (our lifestyle)?” A related question is now directed at our healthspan–how long can we live without disability or illness? This book, The Brain That Chooses Itself (TBTCI), provides you with practical strategies that we can choose for ourselves, across five categories of life: physical activity, sleep, nutrition, social connection, and the health benefits of extreme experiences.

This book will not tell you what to do or what you should have been doing, but rather presents the basic science (proof) in a practical and easy-to-understand manner, so that you can be informed about your options to live longer and remain functional. TBTCI does not prescribe a "one size fits all" approach, does not end with, "it depends," and does not bog you down in jargon. No matter your profession or educational level, TBTCI is written with you in mind.

Each chapter provides the practical steps that you can use and then invites you in for a deeper dive if you want more information. Arm yourself with the science without wading through the research, gimmicks and life hacks. If being healthy longer is appealing to you, then look to this book–where the answers are made easy, and the choice....remains yours.

Autonomy Rules!!!

This is a highly accessible book on how to choose yourself in all aspects of life and wellness. I cannot recommend this book or this clinician enough.
