Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity

"Brought to you by Penguin. This is the ultimate manual for living better and longer. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity. This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science: a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive's practical advice and 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. 'One of the most important books you'll ever read.' - Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics ©2023 Peter Attia & Bill Gifford (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

How To Die Happy: Curated wisdom, stories, and utilities, for the art of living

"How can you achieve long-lasting happiness? Or transform your relationship with fear, death, or grief? What is happiness anyway? “This madman has found a way to weave such wisdom into a tapestry of interconnected insight and understanding. The result is a charming and witty guide to attaining happiness that is both heartfelt and funny.”— Lee Holden, founder of Holden Qi GongExploring themes around life “in the Matrix”, depression, consumption, distraction, and “success”, How To Die Happy examines why many of us feel robbed of this much sought-after prize. More importantly, it’s a guide to happiness. Former high-functioning alcoholic adman Martin O’Toole once lived a wild life of excess, oblivious of how his traumatic childhood had profoundly impaired his emotional maturation. A near-suicidal event was just the beginning of his learning about mental health’s complexities. Leaving the hectic pace of London for the contrasting peace of Bali, O’Toole set out to heal his various neuroses. This work led to discovering what he refers to as the “Anatomy of Happy” — detailed in this book. Cherry-picking Eastern philosophies like Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, introducing mindfulness, psychological practices, and tales of the miraculous healing power of psychedelic plants, How To Die Happy distils the secrets to living and dying well, documented by a “man on the mend”. How To Die Happy tackles the root causes of depression and dissatisfaction. Part curated wisdom, part handbook, part memoir, this inspirational text offers a blend of ancient lessons, real-life stories, and a host of practical utilities to enjoy a vibrant and contented life. Today, we face material distractions at every turn. This book offers meaningful concepts to help you find inner peace and happiness in a world that needs it more than ever."

Healthy No Matter What: How Humans Are Hardwired to Adapt

"A provocative manifesto that teaches you how to take control of your own health, no matter your age or circumstances-from an innovative doctor and his philosopher daughter "If you care about your health or the well-being of others, read this book."-Ethan Kross, author of Chatter Dr. Alex Jadad is the creator of the Jadad scale, which has become the world's most widely used methodology to assess the quality of clinical trials, and his daughter Tamen Jadad-Garcia is a health entrepreneur and philosopher. Here they combine their expertise to uncover the medical system's unstable foundations, which condemn you to be ill. The Jadads begin this exploration with a simple question: "What is health?" Through engaging stories and case studies, the Jadads expand the understanding of health beyond the medical industrial complex. They show how distant connections in your personal networks can influence key aspects of yourself, like your weight, anxiety, and addictions; how reliance on medications can be reduced by intentionally designing the places where you live, work, and play; and how comparisons with peers can shorten your life. In this practical guide, the meaning of health is redefined, putting you in the driver's seat and recognizing you as the most effective evaluator. Building on data and experiences from millions of people around the world, the book reveals that a healthy life is possible even with complex chronic conditions or terminal illnesses. The Jadads explain why perceiving yourself as unhealthy might actually be fatal, and how you can monitor your true health and boost it in practically any context, no matter your cultural background or socioeconomic circumstances. With wisdom and empathy, Healthy No Matter What teaches you how your natural gift of adaptability equips you to overcome any obstacle, provides actionable pointers, and shows how and when to use the medical system, so that you can thrive, regardless of the twists and turns life may take."
