Live Work Love - 2nd Edition - Terry Williams - Bog

How long do you really want to live?
Our longevity, health and quality of life are due 30% to genetic luck and 70% to our choices and behaviours. We're dealt some cards and this book is about how to play the best hand, given those cards we've been dealt. No one wants to live forever but most of us would like to get the most out of whatever we've got coming. The vast majority of us would like to keep on going until we don't, not taper off to a long unhealthy tail-end of life. Regardless of how long we have, how do we stay healthier longer, optimise our happiness and make it all worthwhile?
Reviewing and summarising much of the recent research on life expectancy, quality of life and personal productivity, this book then focuses on:
adding ten productive years to your work life. (Work in the broadest sense of the word.) Currently, there is a lot of concern and uncertainty about living longer with less money, poorer health and disconnected people. The baby boomers are the most significant moneyed demographic and they're greying at a pace. Now is a time of unparalleled affluence and longevity, yet we are faced with low quality-of-life issues driven by stress, obesity and unwise lifestyle choices. Forget waiting for that elusive magic blue pill or silver bullet when we can do a few little things every day that add up to a massive high-quality chunk of extra life that funds itself. This book provides 12 controls for people to nudge their lives towards a better direction by influencing our physical, mental and social lives.
Those controls are how we: -Eat
-Move
-Sleep
-Think
-Learn
-Challenge
-Connect
-Believe
-Hang
-Chill
-Care
-Touch. You don't get an instruction manual, because one approach doesn't work for everyone. But you will laugh and learn while getting a simple, effective and non-preachy toolkit. Chapters Include:
1. Why Am I Here And Why Should I Care?
