Dan Buettner Biography
Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Fellow, journalist, producer, and New York Times bestselling author recognized for his research into human longevity, aging, and well-being. Buettner introduced the term "blue zones" during an exploratory project, leading a team from the University of Minnesota and the National Institute on Aging to identify five regions worldwide—Okinawa, Sardinia, the Nicoya Peninsula, Ikaria, and Loma Linda—where people experience notable longevity and quality of life. Prior to his work on longevity, Buettner held three Guinness World Records for distance cycling.
Buettner has authored several books on longevity and lifestyle, including "The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who've Lived the Longest," "Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way," "The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People," and "The Blue Zones of Happiness." His book "The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 Recipes for Living to 100" combines scientific reporting, National Geographic photography, and recipes inspired by his research. Buettner's articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine and National Geographic.
Buettner co-produced and hosted the Emmy Award-winning Netflix series "Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones," bringing his research to a global audience. His TED Talk "How to live to be 100+" has garnered millions of views. He has appeared on The Today Show, Oprah, NBC Nightly News, and Good Morning America, and has delivered keynote speeches at TEDMED and Google Zeitgeist. He was recognized at the Davos World Economic Forum.
Buettner has also implemented his research in public health initiatives. He launched The Blue Zones City Makeovers, a preventive health care project in the United States that has impacted the health of millions. Buettner collaborates with municipal governments, employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities, focusing on environmental, policy, and social network changes to improve well-being. Through his books, television work, and keynote presentations, Buettner provides audiences with science-based strategies for longevity and public health.

Dan Buettner Speaking Topics
Dan Buettner’s talks on the blue zones and longevity focus on the lifestyles and habits of the world’s longest-living populations. He shares insights from regions where people live exceptionally long, healthy lives, highlighting factors such as diet, physical activity, social connections, and purpose. Buettner emphasizes how adopting these principles can enhance well-being and extend life expectancy, offering practical strategies for incorporating these longevity-boosting habits into daily life. He also debunks the most common myths and offers a science-backed blueprint for the average American to live another 12 quality years.
What truly makes us happy? Most of us are chasing the wrong answers. As the pioneer behind the Blue Zones of Longevity, Dan Buettner reveals how living our best life means mastering three essential areas: how we evaluate our life, how we experience it day to day, and how we connect with our deeper purpose. Working alongside Gallup, Dan identified the happiest regions in the world and distilled their secrets. Backed by data covering 95% of the global population and insights from top experts, he debunks popular myths about happiness. With breathtaking National Geographic photography, Dan brings these stories to life, offering a proven, long-lasting strategy to help you live your happiest life.
In 2009, Albert Lea, Minnesota, an average American city, completed a one-year Blue Zones Project that raised life expectancy by three years, shed 12,000 pounds collectively, and reduced city workers’ healthcare costs by 40%—with the results still sustained today. Harvard’s Dr. Walter Willett called the outcomes “stunning.” When talking about this topic, Dan shares actionable insights on Blue Zones Projects, inspired by the world’s longest-living populations, and how they transform communities by reshaping environments to make healthier choices effortless. Through simple, lasting changes like improving walkability, access to nutritious foods, and fostering social connections, these initiatives help people live longer, happier lives while reducing healthcare costs and boosting well-being.
