What truly makes us happy? Most of us are chasing the wrong answers. As the pioneer behind the Blue Zones of Longevity, Dan reveals how living our best life means mastering three essential areas: how we evaluate our life, how we experience it day to day, and how we connect with our deeper purpose. Working alongside Gallup, Dan identified the happiest regions in the world and distilled their secrets. Backed by data covering 95% of the global population and insights from top experts, he debunks popular myths about happiness. With breathtaking National Geographic photography, Dan brings these stories to life, offering a proven, long-lasting strategy to help you live your happiest life.
In 2009, Albert Lea, Minnesota, an average American city, completed a one-year Blue Zones Project that raised life expectancy by three years, shed 12,000 pounds collectively, and reduced city workers’ healthcare costs by 40%—with the results still sustained today. Harvard’s Dr. Walter Willett called the outcomes “stunning.” When talking about this topic, Dan shares actionable insights on Blue Zones Projects, inspired by the world’s longest-living populations, and how they transform communities by reshaping environments to make healthier choices effortless. Through simple, lasting changes like improving walkability, access to nutritious foods, and fostering social connections, these initiatives help people live longer, happier lives while reducing healthcare costs and boosting well-being.
