Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity

The book is way too long and often buried in the weeds of this acronym versus that acronym, and you should track this and that so you can feel potentially one percent better for two extra years at the end of your life. And then there was the oddly deeply heartfelt last few chapters that didn't fit in with the scientifically analytical voice of the whole rest of the book. That said, I really liked how at the end of the day, the key points were that you should ONE get 8hrs of sleep TWO eat a normal (non-processed) diet, THREE spend time light-jogging in nature FOUR lift weights and FIVE avoid depressive modes of thought. I don't recall any chapter where it said that you should drink eight glasses of water per day, but I'm assuming that was implied.

I like the author's gift for storytelling, especially stories about his own life, and his own internal struggles. And I really appreciate that he read the audiobook himself because his voice is so crystal clear I could mostly blast through the book at 3.5x and skip over the acronym sections, thereby reducing 17hrs to a much more appropriate 6 hours or so.
