Along the way, Yong sets off to answer some of the biggest questions of our time:
How do you break through the noise of beauty and wellness cultureÕs endless optimization protocols
How can you find actual authenticity in a world of performative artifice
Can the antidote to aging be found in a jar, tube, or at the end of a syringe
Do blondes really have more fun
