"""Elise researched all the common attributes of the world's ""Blue Zones"" (places where the most people live to be over 100) and laid them all out for us. That makes this book special is that it deals with a topic most of us care about-- how to live longer, which sounds like a very serious, maybe even daunting read. But this book guides us along in a way that's clear, easy and also fun to digest. All the book's claims rest on a solid bedrock of science, yet it's delivery is warm, light and inviting-- which is another kind of medicine altogether. Elise is onto something. Not just how to live well and long (and that's HUGE). She's a real teacher and knows how to inspire rather than explain. I sailed easily through the book and have continually referred back to it as a reference."" - Foster & Flourish"
