He is vice chairman of surgery at Columbia University and director of the Heart Institute of New York. The author of last year’s New York Times No. 1 bestseller — “You: On a Diet” — is focusing his attention on helping you extend your lifespan.

His new book is called “You: Staying Young: The Owner’s Manual for Extending Your Warranty.” In it, he gives the top 10 secrets for aging smart and staying young.
