I love this list--lots of new ideas for my commuting audible list. Attia's book is quite good and echoes a lot of the advice and prescriptives my doctors have shared with me over the past decade (turns out they are not only preventive, but also restorative when something does go wrong). I loved that you pointed out the real genius of the piece: the journey from insufferable to human. Might I also recommend Breaking the Age Code by Becca Levy and Wiser by Dilip Jeste. Both challenged my assumptions in profound ways. Levy's book can become a bit repetitive, but her research is compelling, and her arguments against the social coding of aging have caused me to rethink the narratives I tell myself (and challenge the ageism that permeates popular culture and beliefs).

Curious what Attia proposes to stave off cancer?
