The Science and Art of Longevity

Brought to you by Penguin.

This is the ultimate manual for living better and longer.

For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.

This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science: a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive's practical advice and roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.

'One of the most important books you'll ever read.' - Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics

Reseñas de la Crítica

In Outlive, Peter Attia explores the science of not just prolonging life, but also prolonging aliveness. Attia makes the crucial connection between overall health and relational health.

Outlive completely transformed my approach to growing old. Peter Attia is among the most brilliant people I've ever met, and he's succeeded in packing a life's worth of insights into this book. It promises to be one of the most important books you'll ever read.

Highlighters at the ready. This is jam packed with things you will wish you had known before. I devoured the audiobook and instantly bought a hard copy to keep on my desk.

An exhaustive, lucid exploration of Attia's ideas.

Well detailed

I love how Peter manages to describe so complex topics in such an understandable manner.

Life Changing for me emotionally

Being a fanatic reader of Stoic and other self-help esc books, I always thought my desire for consistent improvement and discipline was a positive. The final chapters of this book proved otherwise. These chapters revealed to me the root cause behind my destructive urge to 'always be better'. You might think you have control over your emotions and are 'mentally strong', but I promise you, your emotional health is hurting you more than you think. The rest of this book is already brilliant and life changing for some, but if your already semi-healthy like me and reading this book looking for small hacks and adjustments in the pursuit to "be great" as Dr Attia mentions in the book, then you will be met with a wake up call in the emotional health department.

The last chapter is a gem!

Wonderful listen and great attempt at breaking down what is obviously a very technical matter to a layman /general audience level.
The last section on mental health is a gem!
All in all, a very insightful read!

Great read for anyone

I learnt so much reading this book. Extremely enjoyed the last couple of chapters about maintaining and improving our emotional health, which the author puts great emphasis on. Having the perfect sleep, exercise and nutrition plan comes to nothing with poor emotional health. Great read!!

Recommended for Everyone

As a long time listener to Peter's podcast, this books help to link those scattered pieces together and provided a holistic picture/framework which is instrumental for planning your own life/health.

Don't be misguided by the title - it does not only apply to those wish to outlive per se (this is not a goal for me for example), but to those who wanted to have a good life. Regardless of what your goal/dream is, a healthy body is fundamental to almost everything., and this books tells you how to be responsbile for yourself to build one.

I am revisiting some chapters after I finished the whole book, and I still keep listening to his podcast which brings in new perspectives and ideas - as Peter himself mentioned, there are things that changed often. For those things that change less often, you will mostly likely find some being touched by this book.

Again, recommended for everyone.
