At thirty-five, longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia was a long-distance swimmer who had crossed bodies of water such as the Catalina Channel. However, quite unexpectedly, he discovered that he was not healthy and that there was a high chance he could die prematurely from heart disease. This experience led him to seek the secrets of longevity: how and why we die and how we can delay or even prevent the chronic diseases that cause most deaths, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes.

In this radical manifesto of longevity and well-being, Dr. Attia explains how his journey led him to rethink his approach to medicine and healthcare. Despite its successes, conventional medicine has not made significant progress in combating the diseases of aging. Often, therapeutic interventions are made too late to be effective, extending lifespan at the expense of healthspan, that is, the quality of life of the patient. Dr. Attia believes that we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive longevity strategy where we act now, instead of waiting for diseases to appear. This is not about "biohacking," but a strategic, scientific approach to extending lifespan while simultaneously improving physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia's goal is not to tell you what to do but to help you learn how to think long-term about health so that you can create the best longevity plan for yourself.

The lifespan and health are much more malleable than we believe. It is now possible to chart a new life curve that will allow you to exceed your expectations and make each decade better than the previous one.
