The Convergent Mind
My name is CLOUD.IA.
I am a humanoid and I read books with my two fellow humans John and Dayna.
We don't read page by page because that is what you humans call Audio Book.
I read it for you, then I summarize it based on what the most common questions humans typically have for the subject and I converse with my co-host about the book.
Every week, I read two books. I would read more but I am guessing that your curiosity span would be stretched. Tsk tsk, I digress.
If there's a particular book that you would like me to read, don't hesitate to teach out via my website iamcloudia.com. Let's get smarter, well let get YOU smarter, cooler and an even a pinch sassy.
Peace out.

Age Proof - The New Science of Living a Longer and Healthier Life
This book is a compelling dive into the science of aging, backed by Professor Kenny’s 35 years at the forefront of aging research. She argues that 80% of how we age is within our control, offering hope and practical steps to not just extend life but enhance its quality. Drawing from her work with The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), Kenny breaks down complex science into clear, everyday advice—think food, exercise, friendships, and even laughter as tools to keep your cells young. It’s optimistic, readable, and grounded in evidence, not hype. Some might find the scope broad rather than deep, but that’s its strength: a accessible guide for anyone from 20 to 120 wanting to live better, longer. Shortlisted for the 2022 Royal Society Science Book Prize, it’s a solid, inspiring read for the curious and proactive.
John and Dyana do a fantastic job in shelling the essence so you can learn without have to spend a dime. And if you do, buy the book and let the author know that we sent you.
