Praise for Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity

  • I loved it. Bursting with insight and fabulous facts. The brain boost it gives you is enough to make you feel ten years younger on its own!

  • In a field characterised by overclaiming and wishful thinking, it is judicious, sensible and refreshingly clear. And fascinating. - Sunday Times

  • Nicklas Brendborg takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the science of ageing... he navigates this bustling discipline with graceful clarity, dispelling common myths along the way. - New Scientist

  • A hugely enjoyable slice of popular science, full of memorable facts and sound advice. - Daily Mail

  • A highly-entertaining journey through the science of longevity. Why we age, and what we can do about it, explained in a clear and captivating way. A wonderful book - Dr Kris Verbugh, Author of The Longevity Code

  • Some species are effectively immortal, others induce suspended animation, others age backwards. And all humans do is senesce, so that everything from our minds down to each cell becomes more fragile and less resilient. Nicklas Brendborg accessibly guides the non-scientist through the science of aging and what's known about making it slower and gentler (along with judiciously debunking the ample pseudo-science). All written with a fun, appealing voice, making for a surprisingly upbeat read.

  • Brendborg explores what could be a complicated and heavy subject so intriguingly, funnily and in such an accessible manner, that the end result is something that even traditionally fiction readers would enjoy. - Publishing Post

  • This book will make readers marvel at the possibilities held by scientific discovery, and most of all at nature - Nature Aging
