A review by jcburcham
Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Audio (Libby). This book blew away any expectations I had for it. Describing it as a book that tells you how to live a healthier, more enjoyable and meaningful life does not convey the depth of humanity and inspiration found in these pages. Yes, it explains how exercising more, eating healthier, prioritizing sleep and mental health are critically important. It talks about cancer prevention, detection and treatment. It shares interesting studies about longevity in animals and humans. I was initially intimidated by the size of this book (17 hours!), but the content is so compelling and easy to connect with. I wish everyone would read it!!
On further reflection, just wanted to note that issues like race and socioeconomic barriers to care are beyond the scope of this book.
