Summary: "An Extraordinary Book" -- Life Extension Magazine
Review: "An extraordinary book challenges the belief that we must grow old and die." -- Life Extension Magazine on The ImmorTalist ManifestoI just read The Immortalist Manifesto. And it lives up to this rave review. And more! This is not a diet book. But it is the supporting worldview you need to succeed in your anti-aging life-extension goals. I simply can't put this book down. Had to read it in one sitting. And had to read and reread it again. In case you wonder about the planted negative reviews from the cult of Roy Walford (all written by one person?), just consider this. Roy Walford, the "120 year diet" guru, is dead. At 79. And he looked like a hundred years old in his seventies. Would you follow an anti-aging guru like that? I'll take Elixxir any day over a dead cult leader. Anyway, I'm confident you can make up your own mind. Wisely. As a companion to this book, get the Executive Memo on "How to Stop Aging & Start Living: The Elixxir Program" Also by Elixxir. Visit Elixxir's site. And you can find out how to get it.

Summary: What a hoot!
Review: I downloaded the e-book for $4.50, which consists of: 268 pages with EXTRA-wide margins; and numerous pages that present a single profound thought -- here's an example (Ta-DA): "Mortalist Capitalism is merely a way of immortality-seeking involving acquisition, expansion, and accumulation. The insatiable and compulsive heart of capitalism is a function of our fear of Death and our yearning for Immortality [p. 165]." Yes, that's arguably true. But does this insight rise to the level of highlight-on-a-page goosebumps? Maybe so. And if you'd like more, you can travel to Sweden and spend a day with Elixxir himself: "Get a day-pass into The Elixxir Worldview.
. . . $5,000 (excluding expenses for activities, which the student pays for; day starts later in the day as The Master Coach is not a morning person; weekdays only)." Sounds pretty capitalistic to me!

Summary: The ImmorTalist Manifesto
Review: I have never read such derivative, kitchy, self-serving, cash-cow milking drivel in my entire life. This author needs to start his quest for immortality by seeking to grow up.
A representative quote:
"My childhood friends have all grown old, fat, and ugly.
I now look more like their son than their classmate or peer. I am still getting carded by bouncers at bars and clubs. I will outlive my enemies - and marry their children."

Summary: The Pro and Cons of The Immortalist Manifesto
Review: I would simply say this book was okay. It is a very optimistic book which is kind of refreshing. He is pro-nanotechnology and stem cell research but has yet to mention anything about cryonics. At times I think he is wanting a Utopia, he keeps talking about a prefect world where all will be happy and nice. In my opinion he is really overestimating human nature. He seems to have a huge pipe-dream about a kind and caring world. I would love to see nanotechnology and stem cell use in full swing. However, I do not see how the innate human trait of greed will be removed.
He seems to want a totalitarian society based off his views. He calls it the Elixxir technologies which I find humorous. I fully welcome immortality but if it is going to be run by him I think I will have to revolt.
He also states that globalization is the biggest killer of immortality. That corporations and their global agendas do nothing but corrupt the immortalist cause. He also states that if immortalists do not unite than life extension will not occur. I find that hard to believe and I also don't agree that globalization is the root of all evil.
This book is definitely not horrible but it is also not really realistic either.

Summary: nonsense
Review: Just do a Google search and look at Elixxir's website. The contents therein should be enough to convince you how ridiculous this book is as well. Anyone who will rent you his "presence" for an evening for $1,500 (or how about a year for $1,000,000!!!) is a charlatan of the highest order. Gee, you mean I can ask Elixxir anything I want and watch him eat for only $1,500?! Give me a break. This is the only item I've reviewed on Amazon that truly deserves 0 stars. Unfortunately that isn't an option.
