This is an essential guide to living a healthy, long life.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Good ageing is about being increasingly resilient to the stuff life throws at us—change, loss, adversity—so we can process it in a way that keeps life feeling meaningful and satisfying, and we remain motivated to bounce back and try new things. What makes us resilient? An active life with a good diet and enough sleep, a sense of life-satisfaction and self-esteem, positive brain stimulation, satisfying human interaction, and spiritual sustenance.

The desire for a long, healthy, and happy life is a universal one, yet society has a deep fear of ageing. Longevity offers an all-encompassing, holistic look at how the body ages—and what we can all do to age better.

You'll discover that a longer life blessed with health and happiness is within reach by learning:

  • How the ageing process works—and what you can do to enjoy a better quality of life.
  • What history, biology, Eastern philosophy, and Western science can teach us about maintaining optimal health.
  • The important role that a sense of purpose, connection, love, and curiosity have in helping us to live well and live happily.
