Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world – dubbed blue zones hotspots – where people live the longest, healthiest lives.
Buettner now works in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. Blue Zones Projects are well-being initiatives that apply lessons from the Blue Zones to entire communities by focusing on changes to the local environment, public policy, and social networks. The program has dramatically improved the health of more than 5 million Americans to date.
We are obsessed with the Blue Zones and were delighted to dig into Dan's new book, The Blue Zones: Secrets for Living Longer. Simple nutrition, natural movement, and strong social circles play into the increased lifespan for people in these areas, and it's all without a conscious pursuit of health or longevity.
