The #1 New York Times bestseller that overturns conventional conceptions of health and illness to offer new methods for increasing vital longevity. Can we live robustly until our last breath? Do we have to suffer from debilitating conditions and sickness? Is it possible to add more vibrant years to our lives? In the #1 New York Times bestselling The End of Illness, Dr. David Agus tackles these fundamental questions and dismantles misperceptions about what "health" really means. Presenting an eye-opening picture of the human body and all the ways it works--and fails--Dr. Agus shows us how a new perspective on our individual health will allow us to achieve a long, vigorous life. Offering insights and access to powerful new technologies that promise to transform medicine, Dr. Agus emphasizes his belief that there is no "right" answer, no master guide that is "one size fits all." Each one of us must get to know our bodies in uniquely personal ways, and he shows us exactly how to do that. A bold call for all of us to become our own personal health advocates, The End of Illness is a moving departure from orthodox thinking.
In this rich, dark comedy the USA has evolved in 2020 into a global corporate nation or "corpornation." Sub-divided by a great, brick wall into the northern Bluefish and southern Redfish States, AmericA, Inc. is run by Travis Bash, President + CEO. Perpetually at war, its Supreme Court disbanded, riddled by lobbyists and voracious for capital, Bash drafts Bob, a destitute Yale poet, to transform America, Inc.'s corporate culture. Bob's job is to market to shareholders the vulgar, bewildering and corrupt culture of this brutal corporate nation to increase share value. Nothing is sacred in corporate America or American culture in this hilarious cautionary tale about a corpornation gone berserk in its relentless pursuit of self-interest and profitability. In a blend of high and low comedy, AmericA, Inc. rings true in a witty, merciless lampoon of the omniscient intrusion of the savage greed of big business into culture, politics, law, religion and everyday life. Lentz innovates with an accessible, darkly comic script to bring characters to life onstage in satire. In AmericA, Inc. Lentz extends the literary bloodline of the rich satire of Gaddis, Beckett, Orwell and Moliere.

In this prescient, dark comedy, first published in 2007, the USA has transformed into a dystopian, corporate nation or "corpornation." Sub-divided in 2020 by a great, brick wall into the northern Bluefish and southern Redfish States, AmericA, Inc. is run by a ruthless egomaniac, Travis T. Bash, CEO. Perpetually at war, governed by a radical oligarchy, riddled by corrupt lobbyists and a banal popular culture, Bash drafts Bob, a poor Yale poet, to communicate and transform AmericA, Inc.'s corporate culture. Bob's job is to re-brand and sell the vulgar, bewildering and corrupt culture of this brutal corporate nation to increase share value. Nothing is sacred in corporate America or American culture in this Great American Dystopian Novel about a corpornation gone berserk in its relentless pursuit of profit. "AmericA, Inc." rings true in a witty, merciless lampoon of GW Bush's Cabinet as a dead-on prophecy of the antisocial, public policy of Donald Trump and his top advisers. In "AmericA, Inc." Lentz extends the literary bloodline of the rich satiric voices in the genre of William Gaddis, Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, George Orwell, Voltaire, Laurence Sterne and Jonathan Swift. "A major writer." - Terry Richard Bazes, "Goldsmith's Return" "The satire that infuses 'AmericA, Inc.' is barbed with witticisms worthy of the greats - luminaries in the field of political shaming. Luminaries like Voltaire and Sterne." - Gary W. Anderson, "Best of All Possible Worlds", "Animal Magnet" "Lentz will go down in history as a great writer whose work will transcend time and assuredly reshape public discourse. Through his august body of work he constantly strives to reshape dialogue on what constitutes great literature while hammering his own work like the artist he is forever pounding at the forge of public opinion and the fierce heat of his incredibly rich mind. While he has learned well from the works of literary geniuses, he also captures so well the existential futility found in dark classics like Kafka's 'The Trial' and Camus' 'The Stranger.'" - Goodreads, Shaun P. Kenney, Tucson
