About this listen
Dan Buettner, the New York Times best-selling author of The Blue Zones, lays out a proven plan to maximize your health based on the practices of the world's healthiest people. For the first time, Buettner reveals how to transform your health using smart eating and lifestyle habits gleaned from new research on the diets, eating habits, and lifestyle practices of the communities he's identified as "Blue Zones"—those places with the world's longest-lived and thus healthiest people.
With this audiobook's audacious belief that the lifestyles of the world's Blue Zones could be adapted and replicated in towns across North America, you'll be inspired by the specific stories of the people, foods, and routines of our healthy elders; understand the role community, family, and naturally healthy habits can play to improve our diet and health; and learn the exact foods—including the fifty superfoods of longevity and dozens of recipes adapted for Western tastes and markets—that offer delicious ways to eat your way to optimum health.
Filled with moving personal stories, delicious recipes, checklists, and useful tips that will transform any home into a miniature blue zone, The Blue Zones Solution is the ultimate blueprint for a healthy, happy life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Changing your environment
The stories and insights into the lifestyles of people in blue zone (or high longevity) areas were good, and it was interesting his success (albeit hard to measure) on mass changing community habits. A good book about the power of changing whole community environments to achieve better health outcomes, rather than the mainstream prevailing mantra of placing the responsibility on each individual (which is a bit unfair in a junk food environment). However for me this book fell over with the nutritional advice, he advocates and perpetuates failed nutritional advice from 20 plus year ago, based on outdated fundamentals including: the simplistic calories in and calories out cause of obesity, free radical theory of aging, dietary saturated fat and cholesterol cause for heart disease, eating a low fat diet and, eating a big breakfast. Although he does recommend a low sugar diet (with no differentiation of glucose and fructose though) and a low animal protein diet which is a start. He also quotes countless epidemiological studies: he doesn't seem to understand correlation doesn't mean causation. i.e. healthy people often cluster habits (the 'healthy user bias'), so a survey indicating one habit is healthy probably means healthy people do that habit (because they think it is healthy) and not necessarily that the habit is healthy. He then quotes these studies in a way that perpetuates the perception that the habit is healthy, making a self confirming loop.

Not worth it if you have common sense
I was honestly quite disappointed with this book. It was very clearly targeted at extremely unhealthy and overweight people.
The sage advice to “live to 100” included pearls of wisdom like “move slightly more” and “don’t drink soda”.
If you have more than 2 brain cells don’t bother.
