In Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, Dr. Peter Attia explores how to extend healthspan—the portion of life spent in good health—by focusing on preventive strategies that address chronic diseases before they manifest. Attia combines insights from cutting-edge science and his personal experience as a physician to tackle major health risks, including heart disease, cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, and metabolic dysfunction. Rejecting the quick fixes often promoted in health and wellness, he advocates for long-term strategies like optimizing nutrition, exercise, sleep, and emotional health. Attia’s practical approach equips readers with tools to take control of their health, aiming for a longer, healthier life rather than simply extending lifespan.

 

In Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams, neuroscientist Matthew Walker reveals the critical role of sleep in nearly every aspect of health and wellness. He explains how sleep affects our immune function, metabolism, mood, and cognitive abilities, while showing that sleep is a highly active process essential for recovery, emotional resilience, and memory consolidation. Walker discusses the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation—linking it to heightened risks of heart disease, stroke, obesity, and mental health issues—and argues that our modern lifestyles, with long hours and screen exposure, disrupt natural sleep patterns. With practical tips on sleep hygiene, such as establishing routines and limiting screen time, Why We Sleep encourages readers to make sleep a priority, emphasizing that quality sleep is essential for physical and mental well-being.
