#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert “One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting. This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover: • Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack. • That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging. • Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.” • Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern. • Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all. Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right 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.

Groundbreaking non-fiction literature on longevity and proactive healthcare received a major foundational text with the publication of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity. Written by Canadian-American physician and longevity researcher Dr. Peter Attia, the work challenges conventional reactive healthcare models by presenting a scientific framework aimed at extending both human lifespan and healthspan.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to Egyptian Christian immigrant parents, Peter Attia earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Queen's University before pursuing his medical education. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Stanford University School of Medicine and subsequently completed five years of general surgery residency training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Attia later pivoted from traditional clinical surgery toward the emerging field of longevity medicine.
In 2010, Attia began sharing his medical research through weekly communications, which led to the creation of his blog EatingAcademy.com in 2011. He subsequently founded Early Medical, a medical practice centered on proactive health strategy, and launched The Peter Attia Drive, a popular podcast covering topics in medicine, healthspan, and disease prevention.
Attia's work focuses heavily on what he terms Medicine 3.0, a model that shifts focus from traditional reactive medical treatment toward individualized, preventive care designed to forestall chronic disease before it begins. His writing contrasts numerical lifespan with healthspan, emphasizing that extending life is only meaningful if physical, cognitive, and emotional quality of life are preserved.
A central theme in his work is targeted intervention against the 'marginal decade'—the final years of life often plagued by sickness, physical decline, and immobility. Attia addresses health through actionable components including exercise, nutrition, metabolic health, and relational health, encouraging individuals to approach physical preparation for late life with the dedication of an athletic endeavor.
