At 55 I was living on coffee in the suburbs of Ohio. Stiff every morning, crashing every afternoon, and told by everyone that this was simply what getting older feels like.
Then I moved to a tiny Greek island, one of the places the world calls a Blue Zone. My neighbors were in their eighties and nineties, and I couldn't keep up with them on the hill to the garden.
So I watched. I drank their teas, cooked their way, and copied their mornings. Little by little, my energy came back. I wrote every ritual down in this book, so you don't have to move across the world to feel it.
