Sunday Aug 20, 2017
This week I'm absolutely delighted to bring you guys someone who has been the direct inspiration for my own journey of self discovery that has since developed into this here Grow Young Project. Four years ago I was given a book called Younger Next Year. Once I picked it up the damn thing simply wouldn't let me put it down until I turned that very last fascinating page. Its intoxicating combination of being thought provoking, informative, butt kicking and downright funny was what shook up my level of engagement with the seemingly inevitable age related downward slide I feared was a'comin'. And at the same time it was the boot that kicked off my own exploration into the wonderful world of what actually works and more importantly what we can do to help create a long healthy and happy life.
