The bestselling author of Diet for a New America shares the scientifically proven secrets of the world’s healthiest and longest-lived people and shows how understanding their unique lifestyles can influence and improve our own longevity.

“Healthy at 100 is a masterpiece.”—Dean Ornish, M.D.

“This is a remarkably open and heartfelt book full of wisdom and love. John Robbins has created a new vision of aging for American society”—John Mackey, CEO, Whole Foods

In this revolutionary book, bestselling author John Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and fulfilling life. He explores the example of four very different cultures that have the distinction of producing some of the world’s healthiest, oldest people: the Abkhasians in the Caucasus south of Russia, the Vilcabambans in the South American Andes, the Hunzans in Central Asia, and the people from the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa. Bringing the traditions of these ancient and vibrantly healthy cultures together with breakthroughs in medical science, Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in the same direction: It is not diet and exercise alone that helps people to live well past one hundred. The quality of personal relationships is enormously significant for our longevity.

In Healthy at 100, Robbins isolates the characteristics that will enable us to live long and—more important—joyous lives. With an emphasis on simple, wholesome, yet satisfying fare, a manageable daily exercise routine, and the cultivation of strong, loving relationships, Robbins gives us the tools for making our later years a period of wisdom, vitality, and happiness.

“John Robbins has inspired millions of people with his eloquent, clear, compassionate, and insightful guidance on the path to health and fulfillment. Healthy at 100 may be his finest work to date. If you are interested in extending your health span as well as your life span, read this book! Healthy at 100 is a masterpiece.”—Dean Ornish, M.D., president and director of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, author of Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease

“This is a remarkably open and heartfelt book full of wisdom and love by an extraordinary man who has been teaching us how to live more healthy and compassionate lives for over twenty years now. John Robbins has created a new vision of aging for American society.”—John Mackey, CEO, Whole Foods

“John Robbins is one of the most important voices in America today. He cuts through nonsense like no one else does. He gives hope like no one else does. His words are lifelines for both the body and soul. This book can literally save our lives.”—Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love and A Woman’s Worth

“Healthy at 100 is a marvelous blend of wisdom, hope, courage, and common sense. John Robbins gives us caring, science, and inspiration–a beautiful diet for the heart.”—Jack Kornfield, co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock, author of A Path with Heart

“As the low-carb diet craze is gone, John Robbins proposes a far healthier approach that leads not just to a healthy weight but also to a joyful and fulfilled life. Healthy at 100 is packed with informed and heartfelt wisdom.”—Jorge Cruise, author of The 3-Hour Diet, creator of JorgeCruise

“John Robbins inspires me on every page. His unique experiences and viewpoints were the reasons I wanted him to be in my film Super Size Me. This book only reinforces my faith in him as a thought-provoking humanitarian.”—Morgan Spurlock, producer and director of Super Size Me

“Commonsensical and scientifically sound . . . Readers seeking that elusive fountain of youth would be wise to listen up.”—Publishers Weekly

“Robbins marshals a great deal of excellent data from reputable scientific sources to support his arguments.”—The Roanoke Times

“Thought-provoking . . . highly recommended.”—Library Journal
