#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt New York
Times bestselling author of Freakonomics 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. For all its successes mainstream medicine has
failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease
cancer Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes. Too often it intervenes with treatments too
late to help prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan or quality of life. Dr. Attia
believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized proactive strategy for
longevity one where we take action now rather than waiting. This is not biohacking ” it’s
science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also
improving our physical cognitive and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you
what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health in order to create
the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive readers will discover: • 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.
