Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Longevity Bible
Gary Small · 2006
72/100
👍 Worth It
Gary Small's eight-essential framework is holistic in a way most longevity books aren't — covering attitude, relationships, and lifelong learning alongside diet and exercise. The UCLA research backing gives it credibility. The 2006 publication date means some specific recommendations have been updated by newer science, so pair it with more recent resources rather than treating it as a standalone protocol.
