Peter Diamandis: The Science of Optimism & Living a Longer, Healthier Life | EP 831

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"Optimistic people lived as much as 15 percent longer than pessimists... I got double benefit from being optimistic. I love life, I love every minute of it." - Peter DiamandisRenowned technologist and longevity expert Peter Diamandis shares his fascinating perspective on extending not just lifespan, but "healthspan" - the period of life where we maintain vitality, energy, and cognitive function. Drawing from his extensive work in longevity research and his $600 million venture fund, Diamandis explains the critical distinction between living longer and living better. His vision isn't just about reaching 100, but about maintaining peak performance throughout those years while staying positioned to benefit from breakthrough technologies that emerge along the way.Beyond the science and technology, Diamandis reveals a profound connection between mindset and longevity, sharing compelling research from the National Academy of Sciences that demonstrates how optimism can significantly extend life expectancy. Through his unique experiences, including a memorable panel at the Vatican discussing "The Morality of Immortality," he bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and spiritual wisdom. His approach challenges us to consider that our mental outlook might be just as crucial for longevity as any technological advancement or health intervention.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
