Over the past few months I have led several Vision Boards: Dream to Reality workshops hosted by friends and colleagues in the Vancouver area. The benefits of this workshop includes:   More clarity about what you want to be, do and have in the 8 major areas of your life. Clear up what stands in your way of realizing more of your dreams.

So what does it take to lead a long, fulfilling life? Numerous research projects have looked into this question, especially over the past decade or two. One thing we know but often overlook is at that time of life happiness is more created from within than consumed from the external world. A few months ago, I met Harry in Vancouver, a man who set out to find the answers to happiness and longevity by going to Europe and interviewing many healthy people who were in their 90’s. Harry Mouratidis then wrote the results of his research in his soon to be published book called They Live Longer.
