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.
