The Simple Science of Living Life to the Fullest

 What do people who enjoy the second half of their lives do differently to those who dread getting older? Sociologists, therapists, and psychologists have spent entire careers investigating the ins and outs of successful aging, yet until now their findings  have been inaccessible to ordinary people, hidden in obscure journals to be shared only with other experts.

 Now, David Niven, the internationally bestselling author of The 100 Simple Secrets series, has collected the most current and significant data from more than a thousand of the best scientific studies on the second half of life and spelt out the findings in plain English. The findings have been boiled down to 100 essential ways to find and maintain happiness, health and satisfaction every day of your life, and each statistic is accompanied by a true story showing the results in action

 IT S IN YOUR HEAD: People over the age of fifty who did not think of themselves as old were 39% more likely to be happy.

 KEEPING BUSY: People over fifty who frequently experienced feelings of boredom were three times more likely to describe their lives as empty, and twice as likely to be apathetic about their future.

 AND–A–ONE, TWO, THREE: Participating in a regular exercise programme improved the health and levels of happiness of people over fifty by 39%.
