Dan Buettner is an American explorer, National Geographic Fellow, and journalist who has written about longevity and well-being for National Geographic and the New York Times. He holds the Guinness record for long-distance cycling and has led educational expeditions to more than a hundred countries. The Blue Zones project grew out of a 2005 National Geographic article on longevity research conducted with Dr. Michel Poulain, Dr. Giovanni Mario Pes, and other demographers. He has since worked with cities across the United States to apply blue zone principles at the community level through his Blue Zones Project. His other books include Thrive and The Blue Zones Kitchen.
