Changing the Environment for Longevity

It emphasizes the importance of changing one's social circle, setting up their home, and engaging in activities that will be enjoyable and sustainable over decades or a lifetime.

This approach, rather than focusing on short-term fixes or strategies, promotes lower stress levels, better eating habits, increased physical activity, improved connections, and a sense of purpose.
