My 3 Favorite Life Changing Books of 2024

And Why These Books were Life Changing to Me

In 2024, I read 26 books.

And while I enjoyed many of those books and learned a lot, these are the 3 books I read in 2024 that had a life-changing impact on me:

Outlive by Peter Attia

Peter’s research says the odds are overwhelming that you will die from one of these four medical conditions: heart disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Alzheimer’s), or type 2 diabetes.

He advocates for “Medicine 3.0”, an idea that takes a proactive approach to health and places an emphasis on prevention rather than treatment. Knowing we will likely die from one of these four horsemen, we can focus our efforts on developing habits that will make the most impact on avoiding them so we can have decent health in old age. The book provides lots of interesting information to stay healthy, and, not surprisingly, the advice can be summarized into 2 main points: exercise and eat healthy.

If anyone wonders why I’ve been building an exercise habit these past few months, it’s because of this book.
