Outlive: The Art and Science of Longevity
by Peter Attia & with Bill Gifford
Outlive by Dr. Peter Attia has been a huge bestseller. The book makes a strong case for the importance of preventative care—or rather what he calls ‘proactive’ medicine—as opposed to just dealing with health problems as they arise. He emphasizes the idea of lifespan versus ‘healthspan’—living not only longer but in good shape. If you don’t have the time to read the whole book, a key piece of advice: “Exercise is by far the most potent longevity ‘drug’.”
