"Happiness engenders longevity. Longevity without happiness is meaningless," says Dr. P. Albert Chan, preventative cardiologist and author of Everything About Happy Longevity: Evidence-based Medicine, East Meets West. Dr. Chan's comprehensive guide to a long and healthy life discusses how-to's, do's and don'ts, while also debunking common myths about health.

"Rule #1 of longevity is NOT TO DIE YOUNG," says Dr. Chan. To this end, his book has a plethora of suggestions and tips to achieve a healthy lifestyle that will ensure longevity. Dr. Chan teaches about the 5 devils of health: heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and dementia, offering methods to "prevent and reverse" these major health risks. The book also covers the 5 F's for happy longevity: fitness, family, fortune, fame, and fun. According to Dr. Chan, "All the recommendations in this book are based on many years of research and practicing medicine experience and backed up by current evidence-based medicine"
