Maybe optimism is the magic bullet that keeps us going. Perhaps we can will ourselves into a century of living. Dr. Thomas Perls has become the go-to expert on successful aging with his New England Centenarian Study. A few years ago he co-wrote Living to 100, an informative and inspirational book that explored the lives of more than 150 centenarians and included many anecdotes. He also has a Living to 100 Life Expectancy Calculator that gives an estimate of how many years you might live. John Robbins, the celebrated speaker and humanitarian, has also written about centenarians. In his book, Healthy at 100, he detailed his studies on four very different cultures that produce some of the world’s oldest and healthiest people and how examples of their lifestyles can influence and improve our own. John Robbins is the keynote speaker at Live to 100, our upcoming conference February 20-21, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco Airport. John will talk on his extensive research into the characteristics of healthy aging and that it is not just diet and exercise that help people to live to 100, but also the beneficial power of love and connections.
