Description: We have been told that the key to longevity involves obsessing over what we eat, how much we stress, and how fast we run. Based on the most extensive study of longevity ever conducted, The Longevity Project exposes what really impacts our lifespan - including friends, family, personality, and work. Gathering new information and using modern statistics to study participants across eight decades, Friedman and Martin bust myths about achieving health and long life. For example, people do not die from working long hours - many who worked hardest, lived longest. Getting married is not the ticket to your 100th birthday. And it's not the happy-go-lucky people who live longest - it's the persistent, responsible ones who knock down years. The Longevity Project is filled with surprising and counter-intuitive insights like these, not one of which involves broccoli. With questionnaires that help you determine where you are heading on the longevity spectrum, and advice about how to stay healthy, this book changes the conversation about living a long, healthy life.
