In a groundbreaking new release, Dr. Peter Attia's Outlive is taking the world of medicine and health by storm, offering readers an innovative approach to longevity that challenges the conventional wisdom on aging. This #1 New York Times bestseller is not just another health guide—it's a manifesto that redefines what it means to live longer and, more importantly, live better.
Dr. Attia, a visionary physician and leading expert in longevity, draws on cutting-edge science to show how our current medical framework often focuses too late on the diseases that claim the most lives—heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and type 2 diabetes. In Outlive, he argues for a proactive, personalized strategy that focuses on extending healthspan rather than just lifespan. His philosophy? Don’t wait until it's too late—start now to optimize your long-term health.
"One of the most important books you'll ever read," says Freakonomics author Steven D. Levitt. And it’s easy to see why. Dr. Attia doesn’t just preach about diet and exercise—he presents a comprehensive plan that includes optimizing nutrition, sleep, emotional health, and exercise, using real science to help readers rethink their approach to aging.
Among the book’s many groundbreaking revelations is why traditional cholesterol tests don’t provide enough information about heart attack risk and how an underdiagnosed liver condition could be the precursor to chronic diseases of aging. Dr. Attia also reveals why exercise is the most potent longevity "drug," offering readers a guide to the "Centenarian Decathlon," a novel approach to training for health in later years.
But Attia goes beyond just physical health, emphasizing the importance of emotional and relational well-being. As psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel puts it, Outlive "makes the crucial connection between overall health and relational health." Dr. Attia’s holistic approach teaches readers not only how to extend their lives but how to ensure that those extra years are filled with vitality and purpose.
For those tired of quick fixes and diet fads, Outlive offers a refreshingly practical, data-driven alternative. As Dr. Andrew Huberman, neuroscientist and host of the Huberman Lab podcast, explains, “Outlive makes obvious which actions we all need to take, and just as importantly, what we need to pay attention to in order to live a long, vital life."
From his in-depth knowledge of nutritional biochemistry to his actionable techniques for maintaining mental and emotional health, Dr. Attia offers readers the tools they need to outlive their genes, paving the way for a life where each decade is better than the last.
With Outlive, Peter Attia proves that aging is far more malleable than we think, and with the right mindset and strategy, we can not only live longer but thrive. This is not about biohacking or gimmicks—this is science-driven longevity in its most accessible and actionable form. It’s a life-changing read for anyone looking to take control of their future health today.
Dr. Peter Attia, founder of Early Medical and host of the popular podcast The Drive, has built a career around educating people on the science of living longer, healthier lives. In Outlive, he offers readers his most comprehensive guide yet, combining decades of research with personal insights to craft a new approach to aging—one that ensures not just a longer life, but a better one.
