This month, Martin Ettington released his new book, Immortality: A History and How to Guide—Or How to live 150 years and beyond. Which begs the question: is that even really possible? No one has ever lived to 150 before, so what’s his big secret?
Ettington’s book describes three components to a long, satisfying, healthy life: the physical component, energy component, and spiritual component. And the key, Ettington says, to living indefinitely is to synchronize these three components in harmon by using spiritual, energetic, and physical exercises.
And probably the most fascinating part is that the book supposedly provides case studies of many people who have lived to 150 years or more — including one man, Li Ching-Yun, who is reputed to have lived 256 years.Yuen often gave advice on how he lived so long:
- Keep a quiet heart
- Sit like a tortoise
- Walk sprightly like a pigeon
- Sleep like a dog
Perhaps the secret to a long life is simpler than we all think.
