The longevity reading list
Building a longevity practice starts with understanding the fundamentals. These resources span the spectrum from rigorous science to actionable daily habits.
Foundational reads
- Outlive by Peter Attia — a practical framework for thinking about healthspan across exercise, nutrition, sleep, and emotional health
- Lifespan by David Sinclair — an accessible introduction to the biology of aging
- Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker — essential reading on sleep’s role in every system of the body
Habits over hacks
The longevity space is full of promising but unproven interventions. Focus first on the interventions with the strongest evidence: not smoking, regular movement, sufficient sleep, social connection, and a diet rich in whole foods.
Everything else is optimization on top of a solid foundation.
