Outlive Quotes With Page Numbers. Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD • A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert.
the Book focuses on how humans can live longer and live longer for better. By drawing on a wide body of science, anecdotes, and personal stories, Attia communicates complex biological processes to a general audience. The crux of Attia’s argument is that we need to maximize both chronological lifespan (age) and healthspan (quality of life), which represent the two key components of longevity.
Attia believes that modern medicine (Medicine 2.0) is ill-equipped to help us achieve our longevity objectives. Instead, he argues that people need to take control of all aspects of their health to craft a strategy that works for them based on science. He believes only a new way of thinking about medicine—Medicine 3.0—can help people do this.

- “Of course, exercise is not just one thing, so I break it down into its components of aerobic efficiency, maximum aerobic output (VO2 max), strength, and stability, all of which we’ll discuss in more detail.”
- “It’s similar to what has happened with weight. In the late 1970s, the average American adult male weighed 173 pounds. Now the average American man tips the scale at nearly 200 pounds.”
