Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity is a work of nonfiction by the physician Peter Attia, written with Bill Gifford and published by Harmony in March 2023. It presents a proactive approach to extending healthy lifespan. A #1 New York Times bestseller, it sold more than three million copies.

Most medicine waits for disease and then fights it; Peter Attia wants to change the timeline entirely. Outlive lays out his philosophy of 'Medicine 3.0' - a proactive, personalized approach aimed not just at living longer but at extending healthspan, the years of vitality before decline. Attia, a physician, walks readers through the science of the major killers (heart disease, cancer, neurodegeneration, metabolic dysfunction) and the levers that matter most: exercise, nutrition, sleep, and, notably, emotional health. It is dense and rigorous, more manual than manifesto, rewarding readers willing to engage with the detail. intendle recommends it as the most substantive popular longevity book available, refreshingly honest about uncertainty and skeptical of quick fixes. A #1 New York Times bestseller with millions of copies sold and a best book of 2023 for The Economist, it has become a reference for anyone serious about aging well. Demanding, evidence-based and genuinely empowering.
