“There are a few times in life when you read a new book and realize that your life will be transformed if you follow its teachings. @PeterAttiaMD's Outlive is such a book. It can save, or at a minimum massively improve, your life. I can't imagine a better investment for 28 bucks.” source

“I have recommended only one book on @X, Outlive by @PeterAttiaMD. Now I am recommending a second one, which is as well written and important, The 5 Types of Wealth by @SahilBloom.
