About Outlive

Peter Attia, writing with Bill Gifford, examines longevity through the goal of preserving health and function over time. The book discusses prevention, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and emotional health, encouraging readers to think about the quality as well as the length of life.

Why I include it

Being able to keep doing meaningful things as we age is the emphasis that earns Outlive a place here. Its focus on healthspan adds a perspective on long-term health beside the more biology-focused books.
