What if the secret to living longer has already been discovered?
For more than two decades, photographer and filmmaker David McLain has traveled the globe alongside bestselling author Dan Buettner documenting the world’s Blue Zones, rare communities where people routinely live vibrant, healthy lives well beyond 100. From the mountains of Sardinia to the islands of Okinawa, McLain has captured the daily rituals, traditions, and human connections that shape some of the longest-lived cultures on Earth.
A National Geographic photographer and acclaimed visual storyteller, McLain has spent his career documenting humanity in some of the world’s most fascinating places. His work has appeared in major publications worldwide, and his imagery helped introduce the Blue Zones phenomenon to millions through National Geographic and The Blue Zones Kitchen.
In The Blue Zones: Unlocking the Secrets of Longevity, McLain combines breathtaking photography, personal stories, and scientific insight to explore what these extraordinary communities can teach us about health, happiness, and aging well. More than a lecture, this is a journey across continents and cultures in search of a better way to live.
