Dan Sullivan (Strategic Coach) and Peter Diamandis (X Prize, Human Longevity Inc, Abundance 360) discuss how to live long enough to be able to live forever.
- Dan Sullivan set a life expectancy goal of 156 for himself.
- He writes a book every quarter, next one js called “my plan to live to 156”
- 156 chosen because he wants to. Live through a whole century.
- This has led to a non stop discussion with his clients. Selecting a longevity gold had become an exercise in the Strategic Coach program.
- Peter Diamandis picked a 700 year lifespan because nature has shown a tolerance for this number in other animals.
- Barring accidents, kids born today have the potential for an indefinite lifespan, utilizing future technologies.
- One of the most important elements to longevity is attitude. When you give up on life, you die.
- Your attitude about being young is critical.
- The second key to longevity is waiting for “escape velocity”-each year you live exposes you to another year of exponential Tech innovation.
- Live long enough, and you will love forever.
- Three things that drain the desire to live, especially in the elderly: having no friends, no purpose, no money.
- Proactive steps for longevity: exercise, sleep, nutrition.
- There is a direct correlation between muscle mass and longevity.
- Since the age of 71, Dan Sullivan has put on 6 lbs of muscle.
- Recommended that everyone do a formal sleep clinic.
- Cpap machine may be the first step to longevity for people with even mild sleep apnea.
- Sullivan does complete blood testing every 90 days, with supplements to balance any new issues developing.
- The biggest motivator for longevity is to have a future that is bigger than your past.
- Your future is like a muscle that needs to get worked towards.
- Always seek to see the world in a new way to find that hunger for life.
- Older people do well to hire and orient towards much younger people.
- With friendship, keep going younger.
- Typically, you reflect the age of the people you surround yourself with.
- Continue to see the world in amazement.
- The reason we age, is because we aren’t typically evolved to have children past the age of 35. Nature has no further use for us.
- A lifestyle of curiosity will keep your brain healthy. Maybe master one new thing per year.
- Keep your brain connecting circuits.
- The moment you retire from a future with no fear or uncertainty, you get old. Constantly living in creative fear keeps the brain working and healthy. Certainty and comfort decays brain pathways.
- To live without courage is to sentence yourself to death.
- “do something scary every day.”
- Live healthy enough over the next 20 years to intercept the major changes coming.
- Exercise and muscle mass will help keep you healthy, as will better sleep.
- Figure out the correct diet for you.
- This is the first generation where the issue of longevity becomes a primary human consideration.
