Most of us are waiting for happiness to arrive....The promotion, the relationship that finally works, the calendar to clear. We plan our lives around a feeling just past the next milestone. The surprise is getting there and feeling nothing. Author Jim Petersen spent four decades as a Naval Academy graduate, nuclear submarine officer, and executive coach, watching this pattern play out in the lives of high-achieving, deeply committed people. He found their goals weren’t wrong —they were looking in the wrong direction.

This audiobook, Tomorrow's Medicine, looks at some of the more fascinating areas where technology that could transform health is being developed, including cybernetics, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, and genetically tailored treatments. Although many of these advances may not be ready to treat humans for many years, some of them may someday profoundly change - and extend - our lives. As exciting as the possibilities are to extend both the length and quality of life, immortality - or at least agelessness - may be forever out of our reach.

For centuries, the West has produced stories about the future in which humans use advanced science and technology to transform the Earth. Michael Rawson uses a wide range of works that include Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, the science fiction novels of Jules Verne, and even the speculations of think tanks like the RAND Corporation to reveal the environmental paradox at the heart of these narratives: the single-minded expectation of unlimited growth on a finite planet.
