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expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary Limitless, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.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.

Brilliant book

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.

As in the podcast, Peter cuts through the noise around current ideas and issues on longevity and provides simple actionable advice for us to extend healthspan.

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

A Forward-Thinking "Metamedical" Textbook

I'm a doctor in Europe. I share most of the same philosophies of this book, and aspire to provide this sort of care to my patients. In public practice, the service is not organised around "Medicine 3.0". I hope this changes.

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.

Outlive Peter Attia

I loved the content of this book. Some great analogies. Articulate and expertly written I couldn’t stop listening. Very personal and a reminder to us all to embrace our vulnerabilities it was the right decision that Peter narrated. Would highly recommend and will re listen again. Well done

I loved this book

Thank you, Peter, for synthesizing your knowledge in understandable way. The information is precise and we'll organized. Based on it everybody can make their own decisions on how to achieve their healthiest life. I listened to the book in two days.

Very informative read and useful application the begging chapter was a little ropey with some questionable metaphors

Good book

Like the book , plenty important topics that described very well. However, some of the topics could be described from more scientific perspective.
