著有《紐約時報》No.1暢銷書《無病時代》（The End of Illness）、參與賈伯斯等眾名人醫療團隊的癌症名醫阿格斯，在最新前瞻之作《幸運時代》（The Lucky Years）裡，揭示未來醫療的美麗新世界！

在不久的未來，我們對人體健康的掌控能力將達到空前的地步，科技進展幫助我們採行個人化醫療、選擇更健康的生活方式，醫師能微調對抗疾病的策略——然而一個最重要關鍵在於個人的健康數據，仔細聆聽、紀錄、分析身體的聲音，比攝取維他命或果汁冰沙有幫助多了！

在《無病時代》裡，阿格斯便曾揭露如何透過獲知個人的健康資訊來延年益壽，《幸運時代》在該主題上繼續延伸，以最新醫療科技進展為據，從未來的宏觀角度深刻討論為何這將是最幸運的年代，而在日新月異的醫療進展開拓的新世界裡，我們該如何掌握健康的關鍵。

在新的醫療黃金時代，概括的、一體適用的解決方案已不足夠，借助科技的力量，量身訂做的個人化醫療策略將可實現，你將可以：

· 安全地即時編輯DNA，以防止疾病、增強生活品質
· 延長自然生育年限，在四十多歲仍能孕育下一代
· 不需採用侵略性的檢驗方法，便可長期紀錄身體健康狀態
· 不需採用時下瘦身飲食法，便可毫不費力減重
· 降低突發心臟病與罹患慢性病的憂慮
· 將癌症轉化為可共存的慢性病
· 駕馭自己的免疫系統來對抗疾病，包括癌症
· 在還沒察覺憂鬱症症狀時就終結它
· 在認知受損或老人失智症狀出現前數十年就檢查出並及早介入

《幸運時代》是一部兼述現代醫療科技進展與實用健康資訊的著作。阿格斯醫師傾注第一線的專業知識，令人大開眼界地剖析未來的醫療趨勢，便是意在教導大眾如何做好準備去適應、去利用這樣的趨勢。因此在基因療法、免疫療法、革命性的幹細胞研究等尖端醫療的資訊之外，作者不遺餘力強調諸多重要的生活習慣與觀念釐清，有章節特別檢驗關於麩質（gluten）的各方論辯，抗老化的詭詐，以及醫學研究呈現時經常出現的偏頗謬誤等。他尤其建議每個人花二週時間收集自己的健康數據，量血壓，紀錄飲食、睡眠習慣、情緒狀態，這些資料經過分析之後，將能幫助你聚焦在能帶來最大助益的習慣。

David B. Agus, MD, author of the New York Times and international bestsellers The End of Illness and A Short Guide to a Long Life, is a professor of medicine and engineering at the University of Southern California and heads USC’s Westside Cancer Center and the Center for Applied Molecular Medicine. He is one of the world’s leading cancer doctors and pioneering biomedical researchers, and is a CBS News contributor. He lives in Beverly Hills, California.

"In previous volumes, Agus offered useful, accessible health tips for attaining prime physical health. Here, he expands on that platform by addressing readers from a futuristic vantage point and insightfully discusses how recent technological trends have the ability to boost both the medical industry's ability to effectively treat patients and its public perception, something that has incrementally declined through the last decade. . . . Readers interested in breakthrough clinical developments will find Agus' explorations of gene therapy, immunotherapy, and revolutionary stem cell research highly informative. . . . Practical health information fortified with exciting news from the forefront of modern medical technology."
--Kirkus Reviews

“Dr. Agus has done it again. The Lucky Years gives us a smart, informed, and sensible look at the latest medical breakthroughs and new technologies. Important and courageous, it tackles tough questions while showing us how to prolong the quality and length of our lives.”——Walter Isaacson, author of STEVE JOBS and THE INNOVATORS

“We all have a vague sense that there is a revolution underway in the world of biology and medicine. We hear about major innovations like the sequencing of the genome, targeted drugs, and big data. But how will they improve our health and change our lives? We could not have a better guide to make sense of it all than David Agus.”——Fareed Zakaria, host of Fareed Zakaria GPS

“Dr. Agus offers an optimistic exploration of the new opportunities becoming available to us as exciting new technologies disrupt and revolutionize our understanding and practice of health care. Encouraging, but also clear-eyed and cautionary, The Lucky Years inspires us to take hold of the future of our own health—and, in turn, that of the planet.” ——Al Gore, 45th Vice President of the United States, Nobel Laureate in Peace, 2007

“The Lucky Years is an important and courageous book, raising big questions about health, longevity and what it means to live a meaningful life. With a reverence for data and the latest science, Dr. Agus gives us his vision for a bright future of health, helping everybody understand how to navigate their options in the way that’s best for them—and their loved ones.”——Arianna Huffington, Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post and author of Thrive
