In his book he discloses the recipe, blending this unique lifestyle formula with the latest scientific findings to inspire easy, lasting change that may add years to your life. In 2009, Buettner and partner AARP applied principles of The Blue Zones to Albert Lea, Minnesota and successfully raised the life expectancy and lowered health care costs by 40%. He is currently working with Healthways to implement the program in the Beach Cities of Los Angeles. Join us to hear his story and for a discussion of this year's Chelsea Reads Together book, The Blue Zones.
