The Longevity Project

This landmark study overturns the advice we have been told about how to live to a healthy old age!

We have been told that the key to longevity involves obsessing over what we eat, how much we stress, and how fast we run. Based on the most extensive study of longevity ever conducted, the new book The Longevity Project by Howard S. Friedman and Leslie Martin exposes what really impacts our lifespan - including friends, family, personality and work.

Here are just a few of the longevity myths busted in this book:

• 'You'll worry yourself sick': Worriers actually live longer; a healthy dose of concern about the future makes people more likely to be diligent about their health, which translates into years.

• 'Look on the bright side' It turns out that overly-optimistic people tend to put themselves in harm's way—they just don't see risks as clearly as people who are prone to caution/pessimism.

• Do you resolve every year to exercise more? Vigorous exercise can be detrimental to longevity. If you're not a gym bunny, don't sweat it—partaking in physical activities that you enjoy like gardening or walking actually are more beneficial to your health than high-impact exercise.
