The Gospel of Longevity
Your shortcut out of stress, sickness, and survival.
A deeply personal account of how one man escaped the survival anxiety that quietly ages us all — and how you can too.
A book about longevity that begins not in the lab, but in the soul.
By James Strole, with Joseph Bardin.
About The Gospel of Longevity
Bringing together science and spirituality for sustainable joy
For decades, the conversation about living longer has been split in two — the laboratory and the soul, kept separate as if they don't belong together. James Strole argues they always have.
Drawing on his own rebirth experience, James Strole demonstrates that truly sustainable longevity begins with an inner shift. The book shows you how to bridge the spiritual and the scientific, to create not just greater physical health, but a joy-driven, beautifully alive way of being in the world.
Because if we're going to live our full potential for longevity, we need a strength and faith and joy that is sustainable.
“The energy that formed the universe is also flowing through you”.

I wrote this book to show people there’s a way out of the survival anxiety that is killing all of us. Working over four decades in longevity, I’ve looked at everything that ages us. And there are many factors. But nothing breaks us down physically, nothing stunts our emotional and spiritual growth like the pressure and drive of living within the system of survival.
The problem is we’ve lived this way so long, we think it’s normal. We think it’s the only way. But it’s not the only way, and that’s what I’m going to show you in this book. You can get out from under the burdens of survival and the results are miraculous.
I know because about four years ago I had an experience that changed me, and consequently altered my entire way of life. And I’m so grateful for this. It’s not an exaggeration to say I was reborn. I took on a new way of thinking, a new way of feeling, and a new way of being. Without the trauma of survival. And in this book, you’ll learn how this change happened to me.
When people hear about change, they tend to think it has to be tough. The bigger the change, the bigger the struggle. No pain, no gain and all that. But this transformation has been entirely without pain. It’s been nothing but joy and creation and that continues to this day. That’s why I want to share it with you. Because if we’re going to live our full potential for longevity, we need a strength and faith and joy that is sustainable. Not just for today, but for the long term. And that’s what this book is about.
What people are saying about The Gospel of Longevity

“If there’s one thing that a leader of a movement that aspires to be world-changing needs, it is passion - and different leaders find their passion in very different places. Another thing a leader needs is the courage to speak the truth, especially about oneself. In “The Gospel of Longevity” Strole displays both of these qualities in spades, describing with relentless honesty how he came to be the longevity leader he is today. ”
— Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation
“Longevity and immortality are central to Judaism as a physical reality in this world. Strole makes this vision personal for our time with spirit and dedication.”
