IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a book summary of How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger and not the original book. It takes the average person 68 minutes to read 10,000 words. For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly 4 percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth its value. This book allows you to skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, listenable way including key takeaways at the end of each chapter.

In the book, Gawande is able to build a narrative through the collection of experiences that leads to the conclusion that as we perceive ourselves as closer to death, our thoughts on mortality transform our goals and values to that of simpler things. Through a collection of insights, statistics and stories, Gawande argues on how we should focus less on prolonging life and more on how we can make it more meaningful. (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. If you’re looking for the original book, it is available from Amazon and Audible.)

Alzheimer’s disease is largely preventable, and often reversible. Those are bold statements, especially from a conventionally-trained neurologist. But Dale Bredesen, MD, seems to be no ordinary neurologist. After more than 30 years of intensive research into the molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s (AD), and clinical experience caring for thousands of patients, Bredesen is convinced many of medicine’s central dogmas about dementia are misguided at best, and flat-out wrong at worst.
