Integrated Lifestyle

I will begin with the conclusion. Those persons who live happy, healthy and long lives have found the ability--whether by accident of birth, education or the joy of travel--to balance the important elements of their lives. In other words lead an integrated lifestyle. The subtopics below will elaborate on this idea. Here is a link to an extensive scientific study that supports a similar idea.

Items of Interest from the Internet

Longevity

Read this short article in which I relate various scientific studies to my Greek island life and discuss the all important ingredient: attitude. I quote myself:

"Not everyone wants to live on a Greek isle but each person can chose to create an environment in which each aspect reinforces the others: time for naps, time to seek out and prepare local seasonal foods, time to enjoy the activities around you. All of these will give you more quality time on earth."

Hedonism

I am rather proud of this article that makes a strong case that the pursuit of pleasure leads to success in all of your endeavors.

Now I will conclude with the conclusion from that article: For those who think the pursuit of pleasure to advance one's success is too selfish I refer you to:

"Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek." --Dalai Lama XIV
