Don't Die

Could we be the first generation of humans who won’t die? This book reveals the cutting-edge lifestyle and longevity lessons from the healthiest person alive. Six years ago, Bryan Johnson, at age 42, had poor life habits and the Dad bod to show for it. Now 48, Bryan has the physique of a Marvel superhero, and he’s competing for the best biomarkers in the world as the most measured person in history. Bryan, the founder of Blueprint, is using AI to build an autonomous system that takes better care of him than he can himself. His mission? Discover the next iteration of being human. Don’t Die will share everything he has learned about slowing the aging process, optimizing our health, and extending our lives. For those who don’t have Johnson’s multi-million-dollar lab or a team of doctors, Don’t Die distills the method, the protocols, the metrics, and the tools that readers can leverage at home to develop their own blueprint to not die based on their budget, desired level of effort, and time. In a world increasingly dominated by anxiety and burnout, addictive algorithms, and toxic social division in the face of rapid technological change, the book is a practical, one-stop-shop guide that provides a new approach to personal transformation. Don’t Die is simple, scientific, and systematic, organized by the major pillars of health and wellness – sleep, nutrition, fitness, personal care, mental and social-wellbeing, and our “six” senses, the most underrated pillar of all. Within the protocols, Johnson also includes the latest science on the latest topics that have now become mainstream, such as microplastics, air and water quality, and heavy metals. Don't Die shares the rationale, the studies, and the realistic ways readers can mitigate risk and make better choices in their own lives. Johnson believes that when people are asked, “Do you want to live until tomorrow?” the answer most people give is yes. Don't Die: The Survival Guide will help readers accomplish just that, so that they may reclaim their health and their time, as well as gain the energy and focus needed to pursue their deepest aspirations for today, tomorrow, and tomorrow’s tomorrow.
