As a practicing Physician Assistant in Brain & Spine health, I have soaked up Attia’s podcasts and show-notes (i.e. graduate level lecture notes) for the last 4+ years. His thinking, particularly regarding frameworks and scaffolding around health, has benefited most of my patient interactions (at least the ones who want to make changes to lifestyle).
This book does not disappoint. As some reviewers have noted, there is not much that’s new, especially for an up-to-date practitioner or health consumer. But this is the first succinct “collection” of Attia’s framework.
This is the closest he’s come to giving you the blueprint.
The openness and vulnerability is spot-on. The small chapter on emotional health struck a personal cord as well as, considering the personality types and thinking patterns are relatively similar among healthcare and medical thinkers. It may be the most powerful chapter for healthcare providers (particularly men) to read. A great extension of Terrence Real’s “I Don’t Want to Talk About It”.
The reader will easily find a myriad of changes to their habits and thinking, which if implemented, will lead to avoidance of early morbidity and mortality.
Wonderful addition to place at the top of the longevity/healthspan bookshelf.

Wow. I haven’t read this book for 25 years. My 5 year old daughter asked me if there were any secret places in our house.
I asked her if she’d ever been scared and happy at the same time.
What followed was a wonderful adventure taken by a girl and her dad.
C.S. Lewis knows how to captivate children. This was fantastic on so many levels. His book transported both of us to another world with beautiful and terrifying creatures, discernment of right from wrong, feelings of terror, fear, hope, love, family, exploration, bravery, kindness, goodness and forgiveness.
Apparently, Lewis also knows how to captivate a 36 year old man.
What a beautiful book. This book just keeps getting better with age. DJD has a beautiful gift. I cried, laughed and couldn’t put this book down. I canWhat a beautiful book. This book just keeps getting better with age. DJD has a beautiful gift. I cried, laughed and couldn’t put this book down. I can’t wait to reread The River Why in anticipation of this summer’s release of Sun House.
