Seattle Atheist Church

Here's the description on Amazon:

"A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert.
...
"Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.

"For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.

"This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual."

This week's speaker will be Jack.

After the talk, we'll have a group discussion to explore the ideas presented, and to share related thoughts, resources, and personal experiences.

Popular wisdom tells us that anything worth doing is worth doing well. But according to G. K. Chesterton, “A thing worth doing is worth doing poorly.” If you know you're not likely to do a job well, is it still worth doing, and, if so, why, when, and under what circumstances? What if you'll never be any good at it? What if lots of other people can do it much better than you? This is a talk in praise of the job done half-assedly, amateurishly, or half-heartedly, because there is a place in the world for each of these things, and we cannot always be the best, or even our best. (This will be similar to the talks by this name I gave in 2019 and 2024).

This week's speaker will be Eva-Lise Carlstrom.

After the talk, we'll have a group discussion to explore the ideas presented, and to share related thoughts, resources, and personal experiences.
