    The Blue Zones: Unlocking the Secrets of Longevity

    Discover the secrets of the Blue Zones, where people around the planet regularly live vibrant and healthy lives beyond 100 years old. Photographer David McLain has spent 15 years working alongside author Dan Buettner to study the habits and rituals of centenarians in these five geographic locations: Loma Linda, California; the Nicoya peninsula of Costa Rica; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece and Okinawa, Japan. Through personal anecdotes and scientific research, McLain shares how adopting practices they share — oceans apart — can add eight to 10 quality years to our own lives. Join us on this journey toward a long, well-lived life.

    The Kauffman Center has curated this speaker specifically from the Changemaker Speaker Series.

    This event is sponsored in part by UnitedHealthcare.
