Healthy at 100

John Robbins Β· 2006
76/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

John Robbins writes with genuine warmth and marshals real cross-cultural research on longevity to make a compelling case that diet, community, and purpose matter far more than medicine alone. Readers should know that Robbins carries a plant-based worldview that colors some dietary conclusions, and later researchers have questioned a few of the longevity figures β€” but as an inspiring, readable introduction to healthy aging it earns its place on the shelf.
