When I picked up my reserved copy of Outlive, a non-fiction best seller, at my local library, I commented to the librarian that I don’t see how I can read a 400+ page book in the two weeks allotted for best sellers.  Much to my amazement, I finished it in a little over a week.

Written by Peter Attia, MD, the book describes a whole new approach to medicine.  To put it in simple terms, he believes we should be attacking our four biggest killers (heart disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, or type 2 diabetes and related metabolic dysfunction) before we get them.  He calls his system Medicine 3.0.

It’s a book about where Attia thinks medicine should go.  But it is also a book about his struggles with his own demons.

I couldn’t put it down.
