In this companion to the number one New York Times bestseller The Blue Zones Kitchen, Dan Buettner offers a four-week guide and year-long sustainability program to jump-start your journey to better health, happiness, less stress, and a longer life.
Get started on the path to a longer, healthier, happier life with this quick start to building your own Blue Zones lifestyle. Dan Buettner, founder of the Blue Zones and author of the New York Times number one best-selling Blue Zones Kitchen, offers the challenge of a lifetime: Build a foundation for better nutrition, more exercise, and a stronger social life that will extend your lifetime by years.
In this easy-to-implement guide, you'll start with the rules of the Blue Zones Challenge, including tips and tricks from the five Blue Zones--locations around the world where people consistently live to 100--advice for setting up a successful kitchen and pantry, and resources for expanding you support network. Then, follow week-by-week prompts to
  • Change your diet
  • Increase your activity
  • Update your living spaces
  • Build your social life.
After four weeks--and with the help of easy-to-use worksheets and recipes--you'll see results in your weight, your well-being, and your general health. From there, follow the Blue Zones challenge through the rest of the year with an 11-month sustainability calendar that will continue to encourage you and build upon the foundation you've already started.
What you'll find is living to 100 is easy--it just takes following the Blue Zones way!

Anything Blue Zone is good. But this was described as being spiral bound. It is not. I was looking forward to having the spiral bound so that part is disappointing. Please adjust your description to not mislead others. But again, great content, which is why I still gave it 4 stars.

If you are into a healthy, longevity-focused diet, this journal is a great companion to the Blue Zone cookbook. It's engaging, has some self-assessment tests, and helps stay on track. I gave it to a friend as a holiday gift and planning on ordering one for myself.
