For more than half a century, I’ve been writing about ways people can become financially savvy, manage their money, and secure a prosperous future. And financial health is vital – but honestly, wealth means little if you don’t have the good health to enjoy it. As we all grow older, many retirees seem to be shifting focus from building wealth to figuring out how to live a longer life.



But let’s not kid ourselves: a long life needs to be a happy one, too. I can’t think of anything worse than becoming like Bryan Johnson, a 45-year-old tech entrepreneur who’s reportedly spending millions trying to cheat death. Apparently, this poor fellow even goes so far as to ingest blood from his father and son in some bizarre ritual so that he can ‘live forever’. If that’s what it takes, I’d rather go out with a smile and die young.

Over the years, I’ve gathered a library of books on how to live longer. They’ve started to blend together: they all sing the same tune. But last week, I stumbled across an absolute game-changer: Growing Young by Marta Zaraska. The cover grabbed me right away: ‘If you care about the length and quality of your life but can’t stomach yet another diet or workout routine, this book is for you.’

Zaraska agrees that exercise and diet are crucial for a long, healthy life but points out that they aren’t the whole story. This eye-opening book explores how relationships, kindness, and mindset can profoundly impact well-being.
