In this book, Ilchi Lee provides evidence that we can extend our lives way beyond what most of us have accepted as our biological age limit, even up to 120 years. But the real question is, can we not only a long life, but also a fulfilling one? Lee's answer is a resounding yes, and it starts with the power of choice, a practice of self-reliance, and most importantly, a greater sense of purpose. Through personal experience, compelling stories, the wisdom of an ancient Korean holistic practice, and current research on longevity and fulfillment, Lee shows readers how to live fully at any age without regrets. The inspiration and practical advice you find in this book propels you to make the necessary changes in your life that would make a long life full of vitality and passion possible.
