We took another dive into the large pile of books…and came up with Outlive by Peter Attia and Bill Gifford.
This bestselling book is focussed on living long and healthy lives, but does it really live up to its promise? There is a lot in here that walks on shaky ground and we dive into some of the concepts and ask some hard questions.
