Deal Details
Various Retailers have Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity (eBook) by Peter Attia MD with Bill Gifford for $2.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for posting this deal.

Available from:Details:
  • #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert
  • "One of the most important books you'll ever read."—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics
  • Wouldn't you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.
  • For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.
  • This is not "biohacking," it's science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia's aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:
    • Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn't tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
    • That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.
    • Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity "drug"—and how to begin training for the "Centenarian Decathlon."
    • Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.
    • Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.
  • Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right 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.

I'd highly recommend this book. It's really a groundwork for how the medical system needs to drastically change and approach care to become proactive, not reactive. Learned a lot.
Honestly, if anyone has really followed Attia over the years as I have, you can see that he is optimizing for money not healthspan. This is all while trying to keep the mystique that he actually knows what he's talking about using hot topics in research / current viral online health trends.

For 2.99, there may be some value here but take everything with a grain of salt. Our understanding keeps changing with advances in science and Attia will go wherever the wind is currently blowing (TED talk / NuSi failed insulin hypothesis, extreme keto, intermittent fasting, rapamyacin/metformin beating death fantasy, and on and on).

Basically, Peter Attia is a way more sophisticated and nuanced version of David Sinclair whom I would consider a big fraud in the life extension industry.

Yeah, but is David Sinclair friends with K-Pax himself, Kevin Spacey?
This had me rolling 😂. I didn't know about this until your post but it totally fits into my perspective of Attia

I bought this on audible and had no background on the author. I thought the core of it was good and rational. He goes into lots of details so this is a long one. It's not ground breaking but shouldn't be. Daily exercise, eating Whole Foods, sleeping 8 hours a day is what really matters but it's nice to have details and science to help remind us that it really is what matters. Also the end on mental health is good.

I like the book and $3 is a great price. With that said, here's 20 years of reading health and longevity books in a nutshell:

Create an environment in which it's easy to eat well, move often, sleep lots, think deeply, & create real connections. Be intentional; don't just hope it happens. Chase what sets your heart on fire. Seek out challenges, feedback, and opportunities to serve something bigger than yourself. Respect your breath. Control your attention. Don't waste your life on social media. Spend time outside. Recognize that health is the result of choices & luck. Focus on what you can control. Avoid defining it by a single number. Avoid fads & gurus. Avoid complaining & people who do. Optimize everything for consistency & sustainability. Treat yourself like someone who matters. Get consistent and recommended health screenings. Avoid added sugars, most of the time. Let clean water be your primary drink. Take care of your teeth. Stretch regularly. Vegetables are your friend.

If you never read another thing and instead just focus on putting everything above into action, then you'd be better off than most.

Quote from LightC :
Not trolling. I understand your perspective and you are free to have it. However, I do think it is naive to believe that money is not a motivating factor in Peter's trajectory over the years. Yes, it isn't as blatant and slimy as David Sinclair but at the end of the day they are not all that different when it comes down to the underlying grift.
Thanks for the reply. I think I'm missing your point though since money is obviously a motivating factor. If someone puts a lot of work into something they're probably going to advertise it. I got their newsletter today where there's a link to the book, but that's after scrolling through everything it shared about heart disease. He also has a private practice that caters to wealthier patients, but that's separate from public life. Although not as honorable as say serving Medicaid patients, it provides time to work on the podcast or whatever else he wants (if that benefits the public, that's great, but he's not obligated to do so). He also invests in products he personally uses and is extremely up front about that anytime he brings them up, which is relatively infrequently. What's wrong with any of that? Appreciate your thoughts

Edit: I'll note that my exposure to him is the podcast (I'll listen to maybe 1 in 10, and YouTube clips). I don't use other social media if that's where this is coming from.

I wouldn't say his private practice is separate from his public life but part and parcel in building his medical business serving high net worth clients. I mean how else would a burned out MD with a brief stint as a surgeon become a longevity expert?

You can think of it as a complex marketing funnel.

Let me be clear in that I'm not saying his newsletters and this book have zero value but I'm just warning people to be aware of the underlying grift in a lot of these online health gurus, especially Peter Attia.
