MASTER CLASS Living Longer, Stronger, and Happier

Spiers, a principal in a nonprofit adult learning foundation, says that living optimally is the result of developing healthy habits in four key life areas: socializing, moving, thinking, and creating. Spiers uses a judicious mix of life-change testimonials from Baby Boomers and a structured set of goals and measuring protocols. Once committed to adding certain activities to their lives, participants move in stages toward becoming “Life Masters” by rating how much their weekly activities meet needs in each life area. Feodor Chin narrates this energizing guide with a companionable blend of authentic optimism and relaxed elocution. He’s firmly engaged with the spirit and structure of the book but never sounds like he’s selling the author’s ideas too assertively or being too authoritarian about the prescriptions.
