Outlive

LIVE BETTER AND MORE

At thirty-five, longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia was a long-distance swimmer who had traversed sea passages such as the Catalina Channel. But quite unexpectedly he would find that he is not healthy and that there was a high possibility that he would die prematurely from heart disease. This experience led him to seek the secrets of longevity: how and why we die and how we can delay or even prevent the chronic diseases that cause the most deaths, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes 2.

In this radical manifesto of longevity and well-being Dr. Attia explains how his journey made him rethink his approach to medicine and care. Despite its successes, conventional medicine has not made much progress in the fight against the diseases of aging. Often the therapeutic interventions are done too late to have an effect, extending the life span at the expense of the health span, i.e. the patient's quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we need to replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive longevity strategy where we act now, rather than waiting for disease to emerge. This is not biohacking, but a strategic, scientific approach to extending life span that simultaneously improves physical, cognitive and emotional health. The goal of Dr. Attia is not to tell you what to do but to help you learn how to think long term about health to create the best longevity plan for you.

Lifespan and health are much more malleable than we think. Now it is possible to chart a new life curve that will allow you to exceed your expectations and make each decade better than the last.

In Outlive, Peter Attia offers the most authoritative look at the complex issue of longevity. Comprehensive and scholarly, it contains great insights into the diseases of aging and the tactics and techniques to help us achieve longevity and wellness. Attia surprises the reader with his pleasant style, while at the same time inviting him to think about longevity from a new perspective.
