Nearly 20 years ago, journalist Dan Buettner landed in the mountain villages of Sardinia, Italy, with a backpack and a National Geographic assignment to investigate hotspots around the world where people are thriving into their 100s. 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.
In The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer: Lessons from the Healthiest Places on Earth (National Geographic; August 29, 2023), Dan Buettner shares updates on the communities known for their super-agers—centenarians who maintain healthy, fulfilling lives and sharp brains until the end—as well as his Blue Zones Project across the United States. 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.
