We have been told that the key to longevity involves obsessing over what we eat, how much we stress, & 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 & work. Gathering new information & using modern statistics to study participants across eight decades, Dr Howard Friedman & Dr Leslie Martin bust myths about achieving health & long life. For example, people do not die from working long hours at a challenging job
- many who worked the hardest lived the longest. Getting & staying married is not the magic ticket to long life, especially if you're a woman. & it's not the happy-go-lucky ones who thrive
- it's the prudent & persistent who flourish through the years. With questionnaires that help you determine where you are heading on the longevity spectrum & advice about how to stay healthy, this book changes the conversation about living a long, healthy life.
