“Exercise is by far the most potent longevity “drug.” No other intervention does nearly as much to prolong our lifespan and preserve our cognitive and physical function. But most people don’t do nearly enough—and exercising the wrong way can do as much harm as good.”
—Peter Attia MD, Outlive

Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better?

In Outlive, Dr. Peter Attia shares practical strategies to enhance your lifespan and healthspan.

Peter Attia, MD is a leading expert in longevity science. He is the founder of Early Medical and the host of The Peter Attia Drive podcast.

A few of the big ideas in his book:

  • The role of precision medicine (More)

  • The importance of zone 2 training (More)

  • One measure to reduce your risk of heart disease (More)

I’ve been wanting to read this book, but as a new dad, I just don’t have the time (it’s nearly 500 pages, or 17 hours on audiobook).

If you’re short on time like me, I recommend listening to this 2-hour interview with the author.

Want something shorter? Start with our 2-minute book spotlight featuring a few ideas in the book.
