Peter Diamandis tackles the science and practice of extending human healthspan beyond current limits. Drawing from over three hundred expert interviews conducted through his Abundance Platinum Longevity Trips and Moonshots podcast, plus consultation with Fountain Life's medical team, Diamandis presents his personal longevity strategies. He distinguishes healthspan from mere lifespan, focusing on years lived in good health rather than total duration. The book challenges common assumptions about genetic predetermination, revealing that heredity accounts for only 7 to 30 percent of longevity outcomes. Diamandis explores whether humans can surpass the current record of 122 years, potentially reaching 200 years or beyond. He examines how AI might accelerate clinical trials and how medicine might eliminate cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. The author argues that readers control at least 70 percent of their aging process through actionable choices. This practical guide offers concrete steps for maximizing health and vitality while positioning readers to benefit from coming medical breakthroughs.
