 I read "Secrets to A Long Life."

 Often on TV or in magazines we see the rich and famous: successful film stars, singers, and sports people. They live in beautiful homes. They drive expensive cars. They even have their own planes. Sometimes we may think, "Wouldn't it be great to be like them!" But how we know the rich and famous are happy?

Having a lot of money does not always lead to happiness. This book shows what to do to be happy and live longer. In chapter 2, it mentions the importance of having good relationship with other people to be live longer. For example, according to Brigham Young University's study, people who have good friends had 50 percent more chance of living longer. I thought being happy and not being lonely lead to longer life. In chapter 4, it describes the relation between death and environment. Surprisingly, people in cities live longer and healthier lives. Furthermore, people can drive faster in the countryside, so there are more deaths from traffic accidents in the countryside than in cities. In this way, I could learn the way to live long. I thought if I feel happier and less stressful, I can live well.
