Levitt, bestselling author of Freakonomics‘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 BeforeThis 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expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth’s National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.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 chapters on nutrition, sleep, fitness and exercise, Outlive’s practical advice and roadmap can help you to plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.
