Aaron's Reviews > Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity

When I first heard Peter Attia’s discussion around aging and the Centenarian Decathalon in 2018, a huge paradigm shift occurred in my thinking.

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.

Well done.
