THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From a leading doctor and world-renowned health expert, the simple, uplifting and practical guide to cutting through the wellness noise, living well and ageing with purpose.

Have you hit optimisation overload? This book is for you.

Renowned physician Dr Ezekiel J. Emanuel cuts through the noise with wit, clarity and high-impact advice. Forget the hacks, the hype and the endless expert advice. Dr Emanuel distils the science into six simple, high-impact pillars: nutrition, exercise, sleep, alcohol, mental acuity and social connection. No fads. No extremes. Just evidence-based guidance on what actually works.

You’ll gain something rarer than another health plan: clarity. A grounded understanding of what truly drives long-term wellbeing – connection, purpose and sustainable habits that fit into real life.

Because life is not a competition to live the longest. And wellness should not be a full-time job.

‘Essential reading for anyone who wants to get to the heart of how to live a healthy and fulfilling life’ Dr Vivek Murthy, MBA, former surgeon general of the United States

‘A provocative, practical read on how to lead a healthy life … debunks disinformation, punctures pseudoscience and reveals what really counts for longevity.’ Adam Grant, bestselling author of?Think Again?and?Hidden Potential
