It was so good, so much information to easily digest and simple enough that you walk away knowing what action to take in your own life. Thank you for such a great read! It’s going to change my life.

So good I didn’t want it to end!

I absolutely LOVE this book. I've been recommending it to everyone. I would've loved it even more if it came with a supplementary PDF. There's so much great information that I found myself taking a lot of notes. Therein lies the dilemma. After finishing the book I ended up buying the electronic version so I could have it for reference material. I'm also listening a second time because there's so much valuable information and I want to absorb it ALL! This book should be required reading for everyone. It can change your life!! #Audible1

Best. Book. EVER. However . . .

I really enjoyed this audio version of the book. Good narration, Buettner summarizes a bit of the information from the Blue Zones book regarding nutrition, then presents different paths of happiness - Pleasure, Purpose and Pride. He goes to several different regions including Denmark, Singapore and Costa Rica.

It was a good read overall, enjoyable. One thing is the Happiness Test in the beginning - it's pretty tough to do the multiple choice quiz via audio. I would have like a pdf companion.
