Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity
von Peter Attia MD
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD • 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 FreakonomicsAN ECONOMIST AND BLOOMBERG BEST BOOK OF THE YEARWouldn’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 Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a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.

Rezension von Marcel RueschEins der Bücher auf das ich mich am meisten in diesem Jahr gefreut habe und es hat nicht enttäuscht. Das Buch gibt eine super Übersicht über die „vier apokalyptischen Reiter“ - Krebs, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, neurodegenerative Erkrankung (Alzheimer) und Stoffwechselerkrankungen (Diabetis) und wie wir im Zuge der Langlebigkeit an die Prävention dieser gehen. Dabei hat es aber weiterhin einen lockeren Ton, sodass es nicht zu trocken wird. Die Methoden zur Vorbeugung sind zu 70% nichts was man schon wüsste, aber das Buch hämmert diese Basics rein, sodass man diese (hoffentlich) nie wieder vergisst. Die restlichen 30% waren unglaublich nützlich und ich habe bereits begonnen diese in meinen Alltag zu integrieren. Länger leben und, noch viel wichtiger, qualitativ hochwertig altern ist etwas das vermutlich den meisten am Herzen liegt und dieses Buch ist das perfekte Standardwerk dafür. Ebenfalls Kudos für das letzte Kapitel zur mentalen Gesundheit. Auch wenn ich dort am wenigsten Tipps mitnehmen konnte, war es das Kapitel was mich am meisten beeindruckt hat. Wundervolles Storytelling und Respekt für den Mut des Autors, dort so seine Geschichte zu teilen.
Rezension von NoraIch habe das Buch bei Verenas Bookclub gewonnen. Als das sehr dicke Buch ankam, habe ich wirklich überlegt, ob ich so viel Zeit investieren möchte. Aber ich bereue keine Sekunde, dass ich es getan habe. Das Buch enthält mehr Informationen, als ich beim ersten Lesen verstehen und verarbeiten kann, aber trotzdem war so vieles interessant und hilfreich. Ich werde es sicher noch öfter zur Hand nehmen. Und trotzdem nur vier Sterne. Warum? An einigen Stellen hatte ich wirklich das Gefühl, dass er hier Dinge aus einer sehr männlichen Sicht für Männer beschreibt. Themen wie den Zyklus lässt er außen vor (bis auf die Wechseljahre und die Hormonersatztherapie, die er sehr oft erwähnt). Ich hätte erwartet, dass er mehr auf die geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede eingeht. Das fand ich sehr schade.
