New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned explorer Dan Buettner uncovers the secrets to a longer, healthier, and happier life—and shares how people can change their surroundings and culture to mimic them.
Buettner, a National Geographic fellow, has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity, wellness, and happiness. His work focuses on three goals: identifying locations where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives; studying, on a global level, the keys to personal happiness; and re-creating the healthiest cities and workplaces by incorporating these secrets of well-being.
