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

Allow me to summarize:

1. You’re gonna die!
2. Eat less.
3. Some people have better genes than you do and can have bourbon for dessert every night.
4. Abdominal fat is bad.
5. Smoking is bad.
6. You’re gonna die!
7. Sleep more.
8. Insurance companies suck and won’t pay for preventative care but will pay for surgeries that may have been unnecessary if they had paid for preventative care.
9. Maybe you should start thinking about dying sooner?

This started off promising but it ended up being a lot of scientific jargon mixed with things that either I already knew or could have reasonably assumed to be true (people who live long lives don’t get bad diseases until later in life — well, yeah!) I was hoping for something inspirational but this book just depressed me. I don’t want to think about dying as much as this guy clearly does. DNF.
