I highly recommend his to everyone. It's not just about eating good food and being fit, but about having loving relationships and contributing to your community and society. Feeling like you are loved and that you matter and have a purpose. Excellent book that also reminds us that we should be ashamed of the way we treat elderly people in this country.
The longer version:
Robbins is a near-vegan, and the societies he chose for this book reflect that. There are other long-living groups that do eat a lot of meat products (see [b:The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest|2213117|The Blue Zones Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest|Dan Buettner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320442392s/2213117.jpg|2218905] and http://www.aplaceformom.com/blog/2013-03-29-where-people-live-the-longest/). However, this book was written in 2006, and I don't know how long research of the other groups has been going on, so I'll give Robbins the benefit of the doubt.
Regardless of your opinion of a meat-free diet, this book is still loaded with powerful research-backed information. Everyone knows that eating healthy food (even if they can't agree on what that is) and staying active will help you stay healthier longer. But Robbins points out that without love, respect, and true intimate relationships, all the vegetables and running in the world isn't going to do any good.
It's fascinating to read about how much of an impact feeling alone can have on your health, and on the flip side, how "toxic" relationships can literally be toxic to your body.
The societies that live the longest revere children and the elderly. No one is left hungry, even though these groups don't have much in the way of material possessions. They all take care of each other.
As for food, the one thing that Robbins' groups and The Blue Zone groups have in common is that they eat little to no processed food. (At least that used to be the case. Now Western foods are creeping everywhere and people are getting sicker and sicker.)… (altro)
