Brought to you by Penguin.
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expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary Limitless, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easily Understood by LaypeopleReviewed in Australia on 20 February 2024
Verified Purchase
The author makes his points clear and writes in a way that us ordinary folk can understand. I'm 63 and have been playing sport/exercising all my life and eating mainly unprocessed foods. But I still found this book useful; if only to confirm my thoughts on medicine - too much emphasis on the malaise without considering the big picture. Worth the money spent. I think people who don't see the benefits of exercise or eating unprocessed will get the most from this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good explanations but very little “how to”Reviewed in Australia on 11 August 2023
Verified Purchase
This book outlines at the beginning the difference between strategy and tactics and that you can’t have one without the other. It tells the reader to not go and look for the tactics first and to read the strategy (science) first. The problem with this is not every human being and the way they absorb and learn is the same. Some people need the “why”, others need a specific list of what do do and what not to do and then read about the why, others need a bit of both. So from the beginning I wasn’t too impressed at being told by the author how I was expected to read and absorb this information. Going through the book it was clear there was alot of information and research put into it, but I felt at times the author was more interested in showing off his knowledge and experiences and would go on long rambles when all I wanted to know was “so what? What does that mean I need to do?!!!” He did this well in the sleep chapter with a bullet pointed list; and in the protein chapter which gave specifics about how much protein to eat. However there was a whole chapter about strength training which gave no practical advice as to how to incorporate the science and individual exercises (which were wordy explanations of how to do exercises with no pictures) into your life. I read that chapter still not knowing how often or for how long I should do strength training, and what exercises, reps etc should I do. He just went a lot into detail about how to do certain movements correctly with no pictures so it was difficult to interpret, and then kept saying how important it was to get form correct but then goes on to say we shouldn’t rely on a trainer. All I wanted to know was what routine should I be doing and how often? All the science means nothing if there’s no tactics as he said at the start of the book, but the tactic side was heavily missing.
In another chapter about weight loss and calorie restriction he went off on a limb about a drug that has been proven to elongate lives .. I thought it was headed somewhere after many pages on the subject, but then just abruptly stops and jumps to calorie restriction. Again, I felt that the book was too casual like talking at a dinner party about something, going from subject to subject and just showcasing his knowledge. I have very little practical applications to take from this book and am left with more questions than answers in a lot of areas. All the science in the world means nothing if we come away not knowing what we should do to utilise it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ticker is the kicker.
Reviewed in Australia on 31 October 2023

"Once you understand that apoB particles LDL,VLDL, Lp(a)—are causally linked to ASCVD--the game completely changes. The only way to stop the disease is to remove the cause, and the best time to do that is now". This is the best quote from the book, and the one most critical for us all. Heart disease is the number one killer in America. Dr Attia reckons it should be about tenth; which he is sure it would be if only doctors would do what he does: reduce all of the above to childhood levels. That's why he is a doctor to the stars. He knows how to do that really well. He rubs shoulders with the people that make cutting edge drugs for heart conditions. What's not to like? If nothing else, the chapter on "The Ticker" is worth having.

I have listened to Peter for a long time and was surprised with some standout takeaways. The biggest surprise was in the last chapter on Emotional Health. Very interesting.
I'm glad this book took so long to write, if it hadn't, the results would have lacked experience and humbleness.
Thanks for opening up and sharing what years of research you and your team found.

I am a little biased but I loved this book because I really enjoy Petter Attias and his podcast. I think if you are starting out in the world of researching longevity this could be a good one to start with as some of the other books are really heavy on the science side. I have given this to a few people to read who don't know anything about this space and they were able to get a solid understand of what you should be doing as you age to prevent death by disease rather than death by old age.

It’s one of the best books I’ve read for a very long time. Yes there is some science to get your head around but worth stretching yourself for. Basically it gives you a strategy to improve your current health so you can enjoy a longer life. The tools are quite simple and most of them no cost. Best of all it’s science based using peer reviewed studies and proven techniques. Peter Attia is motivated to educate us about how prevent sickness, fragility and misery in old age. I’ve purchased this book for my family and friends. Everyone should read it.

Maybe three stars is a bit harsh but I felt the book took time to get started and then the coverage was of material I had equally read in othr books. However what this book does add is the final chapter on emotional well-being for longevity and that I think is an important chapter and well done.

2.0 out of 5 stars A decent book but some major flaws
Reviewed in Australia on 1 October 2023
Verified Purchase
Let me start by saying the general idea of Medicine 3.0 is great and this book might be a turning point for our attitude towards health.
Also, the sections on physical activity are good and the idea of the centenarian decathlon is a neat idea to keep in mind.
Saying that, I had two main issues with this book. First, the writing is very medicalised and often makes it hard to action much without speaking to a doctor or medical professional.
That's not such a big deal. My second and main issue was with the abysmal chapters on nutrition. Peter clearly didn't want to take a stance and had a biased view of his preferred keto diet, so he ignored a lot of the good quality, randomised, controlled clinical trials on nutrition related to the "four horsemen". The worst thing was, instead of focusing on what you should put in your body to live long, he focuses on reviewing the different ways people don't put things in their body (e.g., calorie restrictions, time-restricted eating etc.), with barely any actionable nutrition advice (apart from don't eat junk food). I much preferred Dr Michael Greger's book "How Not to Die" for this.
So, all up, if you've never heard of this stuff, then I'm sure this book will really have a big impact, but I think there are better books available.
