In this episode of the Books for Men podcast, host Douglas Vigliotti discusses the book Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia, MD. Vigliotti explains that the book has gained tremendous popularity due to Attia's large following and widespread promotion, but in no way, does that lower the importance of the work itself. He describes Outlive as “required reading” for anybody serious about their health and well-being. Vigliotti clarifies that the book focuses on getting the most out of one's mind, body, and life—not becoming superhuman. He discusses Attia's philosophy of proactive healthcare, contrasting it with the reactive approach of traditional medicine, specifically in reducing the risk of the four horsemen: cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders. Vigliotti highlights the uber-importance of exercise, sleep, and emotional and mental health in promoting longevity. He concludes by encouraging listeners to share the podcast, connect with him on Instagram @douglasvigliotti, and visit the website for more information.
