Travel to the places where people live the longest, happiest lives, and bring their secrets home.
What is The Blue Zones?
Explorer and writer Dan Buettner set out to find the places on Earth where people most often live to 100 in good health. He found five: Okinawa in Japan, Sardinia in Italy, Ikaria in Greece, the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, and Loma Linda in California. The Blue Zones shares what these communities have in common.
An inspiring, easy read
Part travel adventure, part wisdom collection, it is full of warm stories of real people. Buettner sums up the lessons in his “Power 9,” simple habits like moving naturally, eating mostly plants, having a sense of purpose, and staying close to family and friends.
Imagine how great you could feel
Imagine sitting at a long table under the Mediterranean sun, sharing a simple meal and lots of laughter with people who are still tending gardens at 100. Now picture bringing that same spirit into your own life: a daily walk, a garden, a circle of friends, and a reason to get up every morning.
