On this edition of Your Call, Dan Buettner discusses his new book, The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer: Lessons From the Healthiest Places on Earth.

It’s been 20 years since Buettner discovered the blue zones – the five places in the world where people live the longest. He recently returned to these places to find out what has and hasn’t changed. He discovered new insights about the power of purpose, community, downtime, movement, and plant-based eating.
