I've Decided to Live 120 Years: The Ancient Secret to Longevity, Vitality, and Life Transformation

After spending the past 35 years growing a business I recently retired, and am ready to start the last 1/3 of my life. One of my life purposes was to help protect lives and property, which I did by starting a fire alarm \ Security system and access control business. It wasn’t me, but the team I assembled that grew a company to be one of the 100 largest in the US. The success of our business wasn’t the size, but the bringing together of a team that always strove to do the right thing, even if it meant we didn’t make a profit on the job. My second life’s purpose was to introduce people to nature and learn to explore God’s creation. While I did dedicate a large percentage of my leisure time to exploring nature - and encouraging others to do so - I feel in the last chapter of life I’ll have more time to devote my energy to contributing to earth improvement by gardening, continuing to bring others closer to nature, and provide stewardship to the planet by recycling. I also plan to learn more about our imperfect American Political system and to help push forward ideas that will close the political division in our country. This book came at the perfect time in my life. It has encouraged me that rather than sitting on the couch as I retire, I will use my energy and days remaining on earth to make a difference, Whether it be through my three grandsons, my son, my friends (both old friends and the many new friends I’ll be meeting) I will strive to keep myself healthy, and proceed to do my part to help other people, the planet and all of God’s creatures to thrive on our wonderful planet as it spins though the infinite galaxy.

I am so glad that I bought this book, and I've bought other copies to share with friends because I've found the insights in it so uplifting and inspiring. Ilchi Lee outlines a plan on how we can all be the masters of our own lives. No matter what our physical or emotional condition, we can always start wherever we are and begin to care take better care of ourselves. There is no guarantee for any of us that we will be able to live a full 120 years. But, I now have a greater awareness of how I can let go of the past, stop worrying about the future so much, and allow myself to be more mindful and present with more self-care. By doing that, I can now see more clearly that no matter how many years I have left, I can live them more fully and happily because I know I can create my own happiness and peace at any time using the techniques and insights provided. It seems to me that if enough of us could see how much power we truly have to create our own happiness, this world would be a much better place for everyone to live... and what a beautiful legacy we could leave for the generations to come!

I’ve been reading this book for about a week now, (still not done) and it is amazing. There is so much wisdom and practical suggestions. In the morning I just open the book randomly and read. It is my message for the day.

I love this book because it talks about purpose and meaning of your life no matter what age. The book is full of wisdom and antidotes so you can receive a valuable message on every page. In the culture that focuses on success in terms of money and power, old age (over 60 or 65) is often considered time for rest and waiting for the eventual death. Since people are living longer to 80, 90 or 100 and beyond, there is still plenty of time left to contribute to the earth and humanity. All you have to do is choose and take action and always have plenty of Vitamin H (hope) on hand to manage challenges and adversities that arise. Ilchi Lee says increasing your physical power, heart power and brain power is important especially as you age. The companion workbook is also a jewel to help you make a plan to live a healthy, happy and peaceful life to 120 and beyond.

Living to 120 may not be implausible at the rate we're going. The average human lifespan is getting longer and will average 85 years by 2050. Some experts say that 1 in 3 people will live to 100. Several countries have seniors well above the global average. Ilchi Lee's idea is that we have to design our life by age 60 as the midpoint, and it begins with our mindset. It may sound idealistic, but Lee's treatise makes perfect sense if we can use it as a guide. The book is easy to read, and like a long conversation. A good starting point when considering anything to do with life or ageing.

Just okay. I feel the book presented some good common sense concepts in a different light, but also felt it was a bit self serving in promoting Mr. Lee's retreats and health centers that tend to be more expensive than the average person can afford.

Great ideas. I have given several as gifts.

This is a wonderful read including practical useful tools ,statistics ,and loads of examples . It’s most inviting to those over 60. Let life go on for another 60 years while feeling healthy and strong in mind, body and spirit by adapting or continuing on a path that refuses to succumb to the idiosyncrasies and stereotypes as well as our government and medical system pushing needless ( possibly changeable with out medication ) medication on us… which makes us weaker in the long run anyway. I am a practicing certified health coach for 10 years and I am graduate of IIN as well as a certified personal trainer for 35 years with vitality specializing in strength cardio and, yoga and holistic health. My over 55 clients should all read this book to hear Ilchi Lee’s perspective. Belly button compressions , It makes sense !!! It’s natural medicine. I love it.

Great book with lots of insights.

This book explains clearly about healthy aging . It makes the process uncomplicated and achievable .

I rarely buy ANY kindle book thats more than $4, but I'm sure glad I "splurged" on this one! What a positive, uplifting and inspiring book, even more so during this trying time in our history. With so much talk of sickness, death, vaccines and viruses right now, this author delivers a message of hope not just to survive but to aspire to thrive and live fully,long after most people usually expect to be alive. Filled with practical advice and presented in a beautifully crafted book (even as an ebook) I am finding myself nodding in agreement with so many things that this author shares. This is not your typical anti-aging guide. It is also a book that should also resonate with younger readers and not just older adults. I decided to "crack" the third digit agewise, many years ago. I do not take drugs of any kind, have been a vegetarian for over 25 years, don't smoke anything, exercise regularly, do yoga faithfully....I'm trying to beat the odds and the averages. And to really LIVE not just exist to a nice ripe old age! This book has reaffirmed those beliefs that my goals are doable. Geraldine Helen Hartman author of, Laughing at the Grim Reaper!
