Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity | Dr. Peter Attia

Why it is here:

This is the definitive manual for "Medicine 3.0." Attia argues that our current healthcare system ("Medicine 2.0") is excellent at saving you from a car crash or an infection, but terrible at preventing the slow-motion decline of aging.

He focuses on delaying the "Four Horsemen" of death:

• Heart Disease,

• Cancer,

• Neurodegeneration, and

• Metabolic Dysfunction.

We include this to shift us from a reactive stance ("I'll go to the doctor when I'm sick") to a proactive engineering stance ("I am architecting my healthspan").

Attia provides the rigorous data on exercise (specifically Zone 2 cardio and strength), nutrition, and sleep required to ensure that your final decades are vibrant and active.

It is the "hard hardware" manual for a vessel built to last.
