- THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, AND OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD GLOBALLY -

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expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.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

In the Daily Mail's 'TOP READS OF 2023: Books that will help you feel better for longer'

'One of the most important books you'll ever read.' - Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics

'Highlighters at the ready. This is jam packed with things you will wish you had known before. I devoured the audiobook and instantly bought a hard copy to keep on my desk' - Dr Julie Smith, bestselling author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before

rethinking medicine to live better longer

Product description

Review

Dr. Peter Attia is my doctor and also my friend. He is a specialist in longevity and someone I trust with my life. What separates him from others is his pursuit of quality of life from all angles-physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual health. This incredible book is a call to action and a reminder to always participate and never be passive. It will arm you with the tools you need to live a long, meaningful, and fulfilling life. ― Hugh Jackman

In Outlive, Peter Attia explores the science of not just prolonging life, but also prolonging aliveness. Attia makes the crucial connection between overall health and relational health. ― Esther Perel, New York Times bestselling author, psychotherapist, and podcast host of Where Should We Begin?

Outlive completely transformed my approach to growing old. Peter Attia is among the most brilliant people I've ever met, and he's succeeded in packing a life's worth of insights into this book. It promises to be one of the most important books you'll ever read. ― Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics

In Outlive, Peter Attia has delivered the definitive look at the complex subject of longevity. Comprehensive and rigorous, Outlive is full of surprising insights into the diseases of aging that will likely kill most of us, and the tactics and techniques that can help us live longer and in better health. Attia's writing surprises and delights us, while provoking a new way to think about longevity. ― Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of the Pulitzer Prize winner The Emperor of All Maladies and the New York Times bestseller The Song of The Cell

Finally, there is a modern, thorough, clear, and actionable manual for how to maximize our immediate and long-term health. Firmly grounded in data and real-life conditions, Outlive makes obvious which actions we all need to take and, just as important, what all we need to pay attention to in order to live a long, vital life. As the most accurate and comprehensive health guide published to date, Outlive is not just informative, it is important. ― Andrew Huberman, PhD, Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine, creator of the Huberman Lab podcast

Thought provoking - guide for a heathier and longer life

Loved this book. Its a bit wordy in some sections (unless you are really into the medical science) but over all it is well structured with believable messages. I will recommend to family member and will re-read in the future.

A well written, data driven approach that does not overlook the value of happiness too. A book I shall reread and refer back to frequently. I’m grateful to the author for his diligence and humility.

Enlightening, depressing, misses some bits

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2023

Verified Purchase

As another reviewer commented the author misses the effect of poverty on lifespan entirely.

There is some enlightening (and depressing) contented on exercise and muscle loss with age. How hard it can be to recover it and sometimes it felt impossible. But if you can manage it then he explains clearly, and in scientific detail the benefits. But although he outlines a program for cardio (3 hours per week plus semi-sprint for 4 mins in 4 to 6 sets) his strength training was lacking in similar information. To be fair he says it is not an exercise book, but I would have liked a little guide to tweak my own exercise. The headline is do much more now, because it will still drop off with age anyway.

Nutrition is again detailed, and you could use it to decide how you will eat. No programs but comments on existing ones.

Emotional health falls waaay short in my opinion. Another reviewer commented on the access to expensive centres and the benefit the author got from confronting trauma. But I felt the book would have benefited from more middle of the road guidance and where to get support. For instance, loneliness is a big issue for many and this might have been the place to flag it.

There was a lot of science, and it held up better than most influencers advice. If you wanted to measure stuff like VO2 max or the various blood works mentioned, I expect this could be expensive.

The book ended suddenly with about fifteen percent to go. I expected programs or further links to exercise and diet. But the remainder was index, citations and footnotes.

Overall, it was interesting and I will try to interpret he diet and exercise into my own work. The mental health - not so much.

A very good book on well being and longevity

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2023

Verified Purchase

This is definitely one of the first books you should read if you want to embark on a journey where you want to improve your health and extend your health span but I would also say it is one where author got personal and filled it with many personal life experiences which makes it better.
I've been listening to Peter Attia's podcast for a very long time now and although I sometimes find the technicality of the subjects discussed a bit too much, the only podcast I found comparable is Andrew D. Huberman's.
To me, the book does really good job of covering all aspects of how to be healthy, especially the philosophy around medicine 3.0 where knowing your risks and taking precautions are crucial.
Things like sleep, stability and mental/emotional health are heavily emphasized with personal experiences from the author. The one regarding sleep and how he has changed his mind on it especially resonated with me.
The story regarding his friend's mother being injured and then slowly fading away was a very stark realization to me that accidents or even an event of infectious disease can really reduce or limit our capacity to a level where there is no going back for us.
I also could not put the book down once he started telling the story of his mental health struggles. I've listened to him many hours and I do not remember once he is mentioning this, nor I would have thought that he could have gone through such experiences. I really appreciate his frankness and openness on this.
There are not a huge amount of practical advice and detailed directions on nutrition and exercise, but he outlines the foundations of these well. I was not really looking forward to set of exercise or recipes, nor a list of supplements when I started reading this book. If you have that kind of expectation, then you might be disappointed a bit. Personally, I like the level of details and general approach of why and how we should do certain things for a healthier and longer life.
I've left with good lessons and a better awareness about well being and longevity from reading this book.

Excellent book...covers all the bases if that's possible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2023

Verified Purchase

Honest, evidence based, practical and written from a place where i feel convinced the author has personally proof tested each of the points made. I really like how he rounds it off with the last chapter- that's the glue holding everything together and making it all worthwhile.

Comprehensive look at longevity now that doesn't pull any punches. Perhaps a bit too prescriptive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2023

Verified Purchase

The book is very informative on longevity and I enjoyed reading the anecdotes . Very well researched . Does not paint a quick fix picture. There was too much personalised medicine approach to my taste. I prefer to focus less on tests and diagnosis and more on the actual interventions when it comes to functional medicine. The format of history, examination, investigations, treatment and monitoring is very much Medicine 2.0 as Peter says and perhaps we also need to rethink our entire approach of testing everything. One can spend and lose much time and sleep monitoring everything instead of actually living. I would have hoped for a back up "light" option for each chapter that would enable more people to engage with longevity now.
