Longevity Series #2: Eat Your Ice Cream by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel

​🍦 Is the obsession with living forever actually making us miserable?

​We were going to read Outlive. But then, the world got complicated.

​For our second installment in the Health & Longevity series, we are pivoting to the ultimate "anti-biohacker" manifesto: Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.

​Ezekiel Emanuel—a renowned physician and the man who famously argued in The Atlantic that we should stop trying to cheat death past age 75—is back with a common-sense roadmap to well-being. He argues that "wellness" shouldn't be a difficult second job; it should be an invisible part of your life that yields maximum health with the least work. We’ll discuss his six high-impact rules, from "don't be a schmuck" to the vital importance of social engagement.

​🎧 "No-Reading" Option Short on time? You can get the core of Emanuel’s provocative argument here:

• ​Watch: Doctor's orders: Eat ice cream (CBS News Sunday Morning interview).

• ​Read: Why I Hope to Die at 75 (The original essay that started the debate).

​Format:

• ​🍦 1:30 PM: Grab a coffee/drink & settle in

• ​🗣️ 1:45 PM: Discussion starts

• ​🍦 4:00 PM: Wrap up & Post-discussion treats

​How Hardcover Works:

• ​Read what you can: The book, the essay, or the podcast.

• ​Focus on ideas: We care more about what you think than what you remember.

• ​Diverse perspectives: We learn the most when we see the world through someone else's lens.

​See you there!
