Outlive - The Science And Art Of Longevity

1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD - A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert

AN ECONOMIST AND BLOOMBERG BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.

- Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.

- That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.

- Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.”

- Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.

- Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.

Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right 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.
