Are you playing defense with your health, or offense?
Dr. Peter Attia, a world-renowned physician focusing on the applied science of longevity, challenges the conventional approach to medicine in “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.” This book is not about living until 100 in a state of frailty; it is a comprehensive, tactical blueprint for dramatically extending your healthspan—the period of life spent in full mental and physical health.
The New Approach to Medicine: Proactive, Not Reactive
Attia argues that traditional medicine waits for disease to strike. His methodology is the opposite: a proactive, aggressive, and highly personalized strategy to defer and prevent the four major chronic diseases—Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Neurodegenerative Disease, and Type 2 Diabetes/Metabolic Dysfunction—which he collectively calls "The Four Horsemen."
The Four Pillars of Longevity
Outlive breaks down the actionable steps you need to take across four critical domains to maximize your healthspan. This is the framework you will use to build your long life:
Metabolic Health: Mastering insulin sensitivity, glucose control, and nutritional signaling.
Musculoskeletal Health: Building and maintaining strength, stability, and muscle mass (Attia calls this your "nutritional bank account" for old age).
Sleep: Optimizing the most underrated pillar of physical and cognitive function.
Emotional Health: Addressing psychological well-being as a cornerstone of physical resilience and longevity.
Why This Book is Essential
Unlike many health books, Outlive is grounded in rigorous scientific data, translating complex biological mechanisms into practical, everyday interventions for diet, exercise, supplementation, and screening.
This is not a quick fix or a diet fad. This is an operating manual for your body's second half, offering a strategic plan to maximize physical performance and cognitive sharpness decades into the future. If you are serious about taking control of your future health, Outlive is the ultimate guide.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER THREE 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
“One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics
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.
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.
