'This is the standout book on how to live longer' Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People

''In a world rapidly taking leave of its senses, Devi Sridhar is a crucial voice of reason, mustering empirical evidence and powerful argument to make an essential case. Drop everything and read this book'' George Monbiot, author of Regenesis

How Not To Die (Too Soon) is a fascinating, challenging and thought provoking read. It completely changes the perspective on human health and who bears responsibility for protecting it. In an age when talk of the next pandemic seems ever-present, it also couldn't be more timely'' Nicola Sturgeon

Have you ever questioned why, despite the avalanche of self-help books and optimization hacks, we remain embroiled in multiple global health crises? Populations worldwide are gaining life-shortening excess weight (even in poorer countries), and water contamination is rampant (even in richer countries). In such dire circumstances, a gratitude journal won't help.

The stark reality is that we've been sold a monumental lie. The obsession with individual health optimization has distracted us from the real game-changer: holding governments accountable for policies that can significantly extend our lifespans. How Not to Die (Too Soon) is a vital, transformative guide that shifts the focus from individual responsibility to societal accountability. It's time to demand the changes that will save lives.
