A medical journalist draws on decades of experience and perspective to reveal what happy, healthy people share. ~
As a health journalist, I've found few analytical tools to be handier than what I call the long view. When whipsawed by "groundbreaking" research that contradicts studies from, oh, just a few weeks before, I find that if I mix the new information into the old, then sit back and wait patiently while it ferments and settles, eventually something I might call truth will rise above the mists of the churning scientific cauldron.

The long view reveals other verities as well. I've always been fascinated by people who enjoy truly outstanding physical and mental health. After years of snooping, I've identified certain behaviors and attitudes they all share—a lifestyle, or style of living, that transcends the healthy habits (Eat this, bend that!) we extol. Here's what my notes—and the long view—tell me about the world's most robust inhabitants.
