Story
We have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we really know what it's doing to our bodies? Join Chris in his travels through the world of food science and a UPF diet to discover what's really going on. Find out why exercise and willpower can't save us, and what UPF is really doing to our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good).

Story
In The Road to Character, David Brooks, best-selling author of The Social Animal and New York Times columnist, explains why selflessness leads to greater success. We all possess two natures. One focuses on external success: wealth, fame, status and a great career. The other aims for internal goodness, driven by a spiritual urge not only to do good but to be good - honest, loving and steadfast. The inner self doesn't seek happiness superficially defined; it seeks emotional commitments without counting the cost and a deeper moral joy.

For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no-one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases. That's because ageing is not a disease - it is inevitable. But what if everything you think you know about ageing is wrong? What if ageing is a disease? And that disease is curable. In Lifespan, Dr David Sinclair, one of the world’s foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that.

Nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time. We're obsessed by our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place, thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of how best to use our 4,000 weeks. Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of this problem.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in 21st century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
This is the ultimate manual for living better and longer.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary Limitless, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.
This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science: a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive's practical advice and 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I’ve been a fan of Peter for years and was looking forward to the release of Outlive. This book is amazing. First audiobook I have finished and immediately started it again. So much great information communicated in a clear and concise way. I am really glad Peter narrated it too as he has a great and an engaging manner. I’ll definitely be going back to audiobook. I really hope he does another book in the future.

Recommend book for some new perspectives and information
The book is about rethinking longevity, not just about living longer but having the quality of your life increase. Thinking about prevention rather than cure, and having concrete goals for 60/70/80/90 year old self
I found the start of the book very technical, but it turned around near the middle

Exceptional and not just for the longevity science
All 17h08 minutes complete. I’ve just finished listening and I’m currently too emotional (not what I was expecting from this book!) to even start to comment on the overall content.
However here are a few thoughts I had along the way:
- Only Peter Attia could make a ~6 minute narrative on box step ups compelling! (Chapter 11) 😆
- The extensive disclaimer about nutrition science & media, knowing how much he dislikes the subject, did NOT disappoint! (Chapter 14)
- Chapter 17 - just wow! Vulnerability++. Even if you’ve listened to almost every podcast, this goes so much further, the insights divulged can be life changing.
This book is an absolute must read. I genuinely believe that 80% of global problems would disappear over time if everyone read Outlive (and Extreme Ownership) once a year.
Truly grateful that Peter read the audiobook himself, it makes a big difference.
