The premise
I'm one hundred years old, and my great-grandchild comes running toward me with a baseball glove in one hand and a huge smile on their face. They look up and ask, “Want to play catch?”
This book isn't really about living to one hundred. It's about building the kind of health your future self will thank you for.
What's inside
Part one, the why
- The question that starts everything
- Lifespan and healthspan are not the same thing
- Being the CEO of your own health
- What your future self is asking for
Part two, the four pillars
- Rate yourself, the pillar self assessment
- Nourish
- Defend
- Move
- Restore
Part three, the practice
- Small changes that compound
- Your starting four
- Staying in it when life gets loud
Chapter list is provisional while the manuscript is finalised.
The framework at the centre of the book
The same four pillars readers work through chapter by chapter.
Nourish
How you provide the physical, mental, and relational support that builds you up.
Defend
Reduce avoidable exposures and environments that work against your health.
Move
Build the strength, endurance, mobility, and daily activity that keep you capable.
Restore
Protect the sleep, recovery, and nervous system balance that allow adaptation to happen.
The most important pillar is whichever one you choose to act on today.
Who it's for
You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to know exactly where to start. You just have to be willing to begin.
