\n"Outlive The Science and Art of Longevity" is a book by Dan Buettner, a National Geographic explorer and bestselling author. In this book, Buettner explores the secrets of longevity by studying the lifestyles of people in regions known as "Blue Zones," where individuals tend to live longer, healthier lives. These regions include places like Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California.

\nIn "Outlive," Buettner distills his research into actionable advice for readers looking to improve their own longevity.
