About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

DISCOVER THE SIX SECRETS TO HEALTH AND HAPPINESS AT ANY AGE FROM THE 102-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO KNOWS BETTER THAN ANYONE

Others talk about longevity.

Dr Gladys is living it . . .

Dr. Gladys McGarey – the mother of holistic medicine and a practicing doctor aged 102 – reveals the secrets of how to live to a great age filled with vitality, purpose and joy.

In The Well-Lived Life, Dr Gladys shares the lessons she has learned in her hundred plus years of life, as well as the six secrets of true health and happiness. This counterintuitive approach is nothing to do with conserving energy – rather it’s all about spending it, wildly.

Sharing life-changing stories of miraculous healing from patients of all ages, Dr. Gladys will not only fundamentally change the way you think about a well-lived life – but also show you how to embrace it.

'Astonishing. Truly one of the most inspirational women you'll ever meet' ELIZABETH DAY, How To Fail podcast

'You will love the stories, you will learn how to honour your health and your body, and in the end, you'll love life that much more' Dr Edith Eger, New York Times bestselling Author of The Choice and The Gift

Incredibly insightful. Very special. Full of wisdom. I can’t think of a single person that this book won’t help (Dr Rangan Chatterjee)

All stars

Such an interesting book, Glady's has certainly had an amazing 102 year life. I found her wise words made me reflect on my own life and make changes. I have found my self spreading the word to friends and family.

Fascinating Read

Helpful and thoughtful memories of a woman who has lived a fulfilling life. What stayed with me is the perspective that you get hearing someone who is 102 talking. It makes it feel like anything is possible as you have another lifetime or two to live and embrace. Uplifting

Wonderful

Outstanding and Inspirational

Inspiring in the most comfortable way, like having tea with an older and wiser friend and coming out of it with a fresher, more encouraging perspective on life.
It is not a short read, but I felt it gets better, more entertaining and more relatable as the second half rolls on.

Encouraging and loving
