Great Experience. Great Value.

Enjoy a great reading experience with the Kindle edition of this book. Learn more about Great on Kindle, available in select categories.

On his final day alive, Scribe convenes a reunion of his closest friends. Though they’d been separated since a harrowing climb on Mt. Kilimanjaro, Scribe hopes the gathering will inspire an actionable plan for humanity in the face of existential challenges. Through a series of conversations, debates, and negotiations, the participants develop a blueprint for the way forward.

Writing as “Zero,” author Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and explorer of the new frontiers of being human. Johnson took stock of his health and realized that a decade of chronic depression and poor cognitive control earlier in life had affected every measure of his well-being. He decided it was time to fight back. In DON’T DIE, Johnson catalogs the social and philosophical strategies necessary for the fight, both individually and as a species. Johnson’s controversial ideas and methods have attracted both detractors and devoted followers around the globe.

PRAISE FOR DON'T DIE

"I finished your book DON’T DIE, and I absolutely loved it! It was one of the most unique books that I've ever read .... The book really made me excited for the future and what's to come, thinking from zeroth principles." – C. Hampsher

“I just finished your book a few minutes ago, and I am astonished at what you've put together. It's truly a masterpiece …. What you're doing for humanity will not go unnoticed. – R. Ramchand

"First and foremost, I'd like to extend my gratitude for you to be on the mission of rethinking who we are .... You're almost like an Obi-Wan—the only hope." – A. Davidenko

“My mind is full of all the adaptations and small wins that I can make to lean into Zeroism. What a gift to spend an afternoon immersed in the flow!” – E. Hannan

About the Author

Zero was the first individual H. sapiens to surpass five hundred years of age. He died in 2478, hit by Earth's last bus in operation, only weeks before becoming Homo Deus. During his life, Zero fathered millions of biological and digital offspring who now live in the far reaches of the solar system and beyond. Best known for inventing Zeroism and the resurrection technology undie, Zero famously raised his detractors from the dead so he could tell them that he had outlived them.

Writing as "Zero," author Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and explorer of the new frontiers of being human. Johnson took stock of his health and realized that a decade of chronic depression and poor cognitive control earlier in life had affected every measure of his well-being. He decided it was time to fight back. In DON'T DIE, Johnson catalogs the social and philosophical strategies necessary for the fight, both individually and as a species. Johnson's controversial ideas and methods have attracted both detractors and devoted followers around the globe.

Fantastic, challenging book

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024

Verified Purchase

It's definitely the best of the past 50 or so books I've read. Really enjoyed. I think most of the negative reviews are from people that tried to speed-read through it.

This book is one that should be read slowly. It's not something to fly through. When you really digest each paragraph, you'll see how profound the ideas are. It gives a glimpse into the future, the future of health & AI, fascinating insights around evolution & mental health, and a first-hand account of how someone beat their own demons.

If you're considering a purchase, my recommendation would be to:

- Get the kindle version (if you have a kindle) and highlight key sentences
- Recognize that Bryan's telling the story in a format kinda like the movie "Inside Out", where each emotion is a character
- As you run into concepts hard to grasp, keep in mind that reading this book will make you SMARTER and MORE PREPARED for the future!

The metaphor is a good one to set the table for an open discusión on biological programming as the defining technology of the 21 century.
Antibiotics, antidepressants, bipolar medicine, and all sorts of pills have created a humanity of over the counter junkies. It is about time someone starts measuring effects and outcomes of medicines and supplements in an attempt to create an optimized human being that gives medicine tools to optimize patients health

Love the book

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024

Verified Purchase

Although it contained jargon that I am unfamiliar with, not knowing anything about psychiatry or personality disorders, I could understand the gist of it, and found it REALLY amusing and thought provoking. You GOT me at the end of chapter 10 - I laughed out loud for a long time (I was about to do a search for the new character that had escaped my radar) - fantastic timing for humor by the author - Bravo! I can only suggest the cover belies the contents - I found it fun and colorful - perhaps a more psychedelic cover would portray the contents better. I Loved it - congratulations ! And yes I think it may become a cult book long into the future.

Weirdest book that I've read in ages!

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2023

Wasted two days reading this claptrap! Kept reading hoping this was going somewhere, but it never did. Seems to have been a silly exercise in stringing along one weird idea after another. I regret wasting time on this and do not recommend it to anyone.

Meh

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023

I chose to speed read through most of this book because honestly it was just kind of MEH! I kept waiting for it to get to some kind of point or interesting arch but it never did.

I mostly read plot twisting fictions by brilliant word-magician authors and had just came off of a capturing novel, which made the transition to this book pretty painful.

I'm really not even sure what this book is trying to be... non-fiction with a cheeky twist? It seems like Bryan really made an attempt to make this interesting by centering the plot around what feels like the inner dialogue of all his multiple personalities. But for me, it really fell short!

I had no idea what this book would be about when I ordered it. I guess I was hoping for a deep dive into the journey that got Bryan to this point. A vulnerable share of ah-ha moments and the difficulties of years of trials and tribulations. At bare minimum, some interesting tips around longevity and navigating a hopeful future. But he offers nothing besides more of what we have all heard robotically repeated over and over again in his interviews and website.

It's nothing new. It is nothing interesting. And honestly has brought no value to my life. Sadly, while I think what Bryan is doing is commendable, this is not something I would recommend to anyone.

Maybe there's better use of your time spent elsewhere Bryan.

Messy Transhumanist Manifesto: Biohacking with a New Age hype

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024

The book tries to convey a transhumanist view of body rejuvenation, and could have been a lovely take on Johnson's trajectory from stressed entrepreneur to anti-aging athlete. However, the book fails in substance, form and context.

1. In substance, Johnson promotes some utopian ideas that are not entirely new: we are on the cusp of overcoming biological evolution by means of cutting-edge science and technology that induce rejuvenation, a field to be explored and democratized by a benevolent millionaire and his coterie of experts. These tropes have been floating around since the 1970s New Age transhumanism, and can be traced all the way back to Enlightenment forms of "scientism". But this is a frenetic race against nature, viewed as a wild domain to be dominated; aging and death as unhappy tragedies. So much to measure, so much to optimize! No time for a deeper reflection about the cycles of life or the wisdom it may bring, as Buddhism and Stoicism explored millennia ago.

2. In form, the book unfolds by means of semi-philosophical conversations among fictional characters. The random ramblings resemble 1980s French postmodernism or, to use a metaphor du jour, AI hallucinations: there are clear thoughts and biographic facts here and there, but these are buried in a barrage of allegorical-style musings that seem to be quite wasteful. Other than for hardcore fans today, maybe future readers may find this narrative style brilliant (Johnson would be delighted as he is obsessed with his legacy into the remote future). For the time being, the book is good fodder for stoners and acid heads in a late night conversation.

3. In context, the book must be understood in light of recent developments in Johnson's work of evangelization of biohacking. From a laudable well-intentioned biomedical project, Blueprint is gaining odd religious undertones. Consider: 1) a narcissistic cult of personality through Johnson's PR/branding which spends too much promoting himself rather than the project's rationale, products and protocols; and 2) a growing number of Blueprint enthusiasts who worship Johnson as a high-tech prophet of this "movement".

If you can get over this confusing book, the cult-like vibe of Blueprint, and some methodological flaws in the "protocol", Johnson nonetheless makes an interesting contribution. Some of his experiments, findings and products can be helpful to those interested in improving their health. (To be clear, some of his products are top-notch quality, while others contain dubious ingredients that can be harmful in the long run - always consult a doctor). Alternatively, there are MD scientists (e.g., Peter Attia) who are also working on the science of longevity but minus the New Age hype.

I was an early reader and find this book well worth the time spent on it. Zoom out and think of the behaviours you have. Good for self reflection.

A Breathtaking Journey Through Bryan Johnson's Visionary Mind

Reviewed in Canada on November 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is the most ambitious book I have ever read because it is offering solutions to existential problems from the cellular level to the global level. "Don't Die" is basically the philosophical theory of everything. Its scope is breathtaking! Bryan Johnson has created characters for the various “voices” in his mind, and this literary device adds a compelling narrative layer, inviting readers into an intimate understanding of his thoughts. He explores every aspect of his longevity endeavour through these characters; the result is a deeply contemplative, entertaining, and powerful thought experiment.

I would like that humanity reads this book. You might decide if you like or not the ideas that it present. But just the fact that you sit to consider them would be a win for humanity on my opinion. Brilliantly written.

The beginning is a bit weird due to the narrative style, but becomes brillant as the plot unfolds
Beautifully constructed story, one of the deepest reflection on the future of man, humanity and the earth…

Worth reading as in all instances il will make your on thinking on the topics stronger.
