Last week I heard National Geographic writer Dan Buettner talk about Blue Zones – communities with unusual high percentage of centenarians. Can this type of study be instructive to a healthy lifestyle in urban America? I was skeptical. But in the end, I bought the book and buy his Power Nine principles:

 - Family First
 - Belong
 - Right Tribe
 
It is encouraging to see these principles being applied to communities around the country.
