The Telomere Effect

Elissa Epel

An unusual self-help book on healthy aging, “The Telomere Effect” is a joint effort by respected psychiatrist Elissa Epel and Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Elizabeth Blackburn. Drawing from original research on cell replication, the book establishes a link between one’s lifespan and the length of their telomeres (the caps that protect our chromosomes). It also explores different ways on how to improve your telomeres’ health.
