\"The
The Lucky Years by David B. Agus, MD<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nIt\u2019s a great time to be alive. At least, that\u2019s what David B, Agus, MD, bestselling author and director of the USC Norris Westside Cancer Center, argues in his newest book,\u00a0The Lucky Years: How to<\/em>\u00a0Thrive in the Brave New World of Health<\/em>.
\n 
\n\u201cChances are you stand to live a much longer, more enjoyable life than you ever thought possible,\u201d said Agus, a professor of medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. \u201cFor the first time, we have at our disposal all the information we need to design our own health \u2014 and, in turn, the health of the planet. Put simply, people living in the 21st century are the most fortunate of all previous generations. That\u2019s why these are the Lucky Years.\u201d
\nAgus\u2019 third book serves as a guide for consumers to navigate the healthcare revolution to edit their DNA for a longer lifespan, lose weight effortlessly without fad diets and prolong fertility well into their forties, among other remarkable options.
\nCurrently, access to the medical breakthroughs, information and new means of prevention is the privilege of those who know these options exist. Moreover, the ongoing explosion of medical information has far outstripped our ability to process it, making it difficult for people to filter out bad information or overhyped health trends.
\n\u201cOnly those who learn how to think, act, and behave certain ways will reap the benefits of the tremendous opportunities afforded to us through the power of these medical revolutions,\u201d Agus said.
\nThe book has already received praise from prominent figures like Arianna Huffington, Fareed Zakaria, Ashton Kutcher and Howard Stern. Al Gore, forty-fifth vice president of the United States and the 2007 Nobel Laureate in Peace, said, \u201cDr. Agus offers an optimistic exploration of the opportunities available to us as exciting new technologies revolutionize our understanding and practice of health care. Encouraging, but also clear-eyed and cautionary, The Lucky Years inspires us to take hold of the future of our own health \u2014 and, in turn, that of the planet.\u201d
\nThe Lucky Years<\/em>\u00a0is available now at book retailers nationwide.
