Our work is rooted in our research and identification of the world’s longest-lived cultures and most extraordinary populations. Our findings were published in the New York Times best-selling books The Blue Zones, The Blue Zones Solution, The Blue Zones of Happiness and Thrive – all published by National Geographic books. We have now applied the tenets of the Blue Zones in over 40 cities throughout the U.S., significantly improving health and lowering healthcare costs. We use an innovative, systematic, environmental approach to well-being that optimizes policy, urban and building design and social networks. Our work has been featured in media from CNN, NPR, and the New York Times.
