How close are we, really, to living forever? Longevity has become one of the hottest topics in the world, drawing huge investment and endless opinions about how to live longer. To separate science from hype, Nicolai Tangen turns to Sir Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel laureate in chemistry, former President of the Royal Society, and author of Why We Die. They unpack what ageing actually is, why the maximum human lifespan has hardly moved, the promise and limits of cellular reprogramming, and the ethics of a longer-living society. Venki also shares the simple habits that matter most: sleep, moderation, and exercise.
