TWO: FINDING DEEPER MEANING THROUGH SOCIAL CONNECTIONS

The 1 Hour Lifestyle Challenge is inspired by the Blue Zones concept. These are regions where people live exceptionally long lives due to a combination of physical activity, low stress, rich social interactions, a local whole-foods diet, and low disease incidence.

Dan Buettner, who made the Blue Zones concept polular, studied five communities, including Loma Linda in California. His research shows that rather than peruse health and longevity as if it was a chore, it is their surroundings that significantly impacts health and longevity. Choosing a place with good surroundings and a supportive community can help you make better daily choices.

Research shows that the people you surround yourself with—the “tribe” you belong to—greatly influence your success or failure in life. Up to 95% of your success can be determined by your reference group. This includes friends, neighbors, coworkers, and community members who shape your habits, attitudes, and behaviors.

Being in a community that shares your values, goals, and aspirations can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
