Publisher's Synopsis
How long do you really want to live?
Our longevity, health and quality of life are due 30% to genetic luck and 70% to our choices and behaviours.
Reviewing and summarising much of the recent research on life expectancy, quality of life and personal productivity, this book then focuses on:
adding ten productive years to your work life. (Work in the broadest sense of the word.) Currently, there is a lot of concern and uncertainty about living longer with less money, poorer health and disconnected people. The baby boomers are the most significant moneyed demographic and they're greying at a pace. Now is a time of unparalleled affluence and longevity, yet we are faced with low quality-of-life issues driven by stress, obesity and unwise lifestyle choices. Forget waiting for that elusive magic blue pill or silver bullet when we can do a few little things every day that add up to a massive high-quality chunk of extra life that funds itself. This book provides 12 controls for people to nudge their lives towards a better direction by influencing our physical, mental and social lives.
Those controls are how we: -Eat
-Move
-Sleep
-Think
-Learn
-Challenge
-Connect
-Believe
-Hang
-Chill
-Care
-Touch. You don't get an instruction manual, because one approach doesn't work for everyone. But you will laugh and learn while getting a simple, effective and non-preachy toolkit. Chapters Include:
1. Why Am I Here And Why Should I Care?
2. Your Personal Systems - One Size Does Not Fit All
3. The History And Future Of Not Dying
