A wealth of dedicated research, extensive global travel, five books, and a groundbreaking national wellness project later, Buettner returned to his original five Blue Zones—Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula; and Loma Linda, California, along with Sardinia—for a follow-up visit.

Yet, this book is much more than a recap. Within a captivating tour of the Blue Zones through beautiful photographs and engaging anecdotes, Buettner offers vital new insights and expanded practices for adding 10 or more vibrant years to life expectancy.
