About this listen

Award-winning author and researcher Dan Buettner has traveled the world to meet the planet’s longest-lived people, and learned nine powerful yet simple lessons that could put you on the path to longer life. Where did he find them? In the Blue Zones.

Blue Zones are communities where common elements of lifestyle, diet, and outlook have led to an amazing quantity – and quality – of life. Dan Buettner shares the secrets from four of the world’s Blue Zones. Buettner’s extensive study uncovers how these people manage to live longer and better, but found in the everyday things they do: the food they eat, the company they keep, and their very perspectives on life. In The Blue Zones, they become yours to follow for life!

This was a great book! I certainly didn't expect the findings from the research. However, they have put things into perspective and things make more sense now. I am even keen to get the written book so I can refer back to it easier. there's some good stats in it

Eye opening!

Really enjoyed this reading, the content was fascinating and well presented. The observations made and recounted was written with great detail that made it engaging and created very vivid visuals to aid the understanding of the blue zones. it has certainly made me look at areas in my own life that I could improve. I found the narrators accents great and quite funny at times especially hearing him take on an Aussie accent, being Australian myself I don't know that we sound like that but I enjoyed it!!

fun accents
