In Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, Dr. Peter Attia and Bill Gifford challenge the traditional healthcare model that focuses on treating disease after it appears. Instead, they introduce a proactive approach to living longer *and* better—what Attia calls optimizing for healthspan, not just lifespan. Blending cutting-edge research with real-world clinical insight, the book reframes chronic disease, aging, and decline as largely preventable through intentional strategies around exercise, nutrition, sleep, and metabolic health.
Attia emphasizes that longevity is a skill you train over decades, not a problem you solve late in life. With a strong focus on physical capacity, cognitive resilience, and emotional well-being, Outlive offers practical frameworks for building strength, durability, and vitality at every stage of life. The result is a science-backed, empowering guide for anyone—from patients to athletes—who wants to stay active, independent, and fully engaged for as long as possible.
