Ageless Quest by Lenny Guarente

Lenny Guarente professor and research scientist at MIT wrote a memoir of his research for the fountain of youth and named it: Ageless Quest: One Scientist's Search for Genes That Prolong Youth

The book is well written and easy to read. It brings the science down to a layman's level, and sheds light on many of the intriguing theories of aging over the years. Lenny also ads in tidbits of his personal life and that of his graduate students that ads a realistic charm and gives us a window to peer into the world of graduate school and academia.

Interestingly Lenny ends the book with an account of starting his own venture capital company, Elixir Pharmaceuticals to research aging.
