The Book

"I didn't set out to write a book; I set out to save my own life."
The Longevity Habit is a 280-page personal journey and "how-to" guide for anyone who wants to trade a life of pain and struggle for one of freedom and joy. I am not a doctor or a world-class athlete. I’m an adventurer who refused to accept that my later years had to be defined by decline.
This book is the blueprint of the system I used to reclaim my vitality. It is currently in the final stages of design and will be available soon.
I created a logo based on the Buddhist Tree of Life but without the Buddha. Trees are part of nature; they’re beautiful, and they can live for hundreds of years. They’re very solid but flexible as well. The Azores are full of life and trees.

The Villa: Stop Swimming Upstream

Most of us know what we should do: sleep more, eat better, move often. But in the modern world, doing those things feels like swimming upstream against a powerful current.

The "shortcut" to longevity isn’t more willpower—it’s a change of environment. When you move to a place already designed for wellness, you stop fighting the current. You simply let the flow of a healthy community carry you toward your goals.

Golden Mermaid Villa is that shortcut.

Come live with us for a month or a season. Immerse yourself in our longevity-focused routines. Here, the habits that once felt "hard" become your natural daily rhythm. By the time you leave, you won’t just have visited the Azores; you will have built a new foundation for the rest of your life.

● Live the Habit: Book a stay of one month or longer at Golden Mermaid Villa and receive a complimentary copy of The Longevity Habit upon booking.

The 3 Pillars of the Villa System

The Golden Mermaid Villa provides the three essential pillars of a longevity community, making healthy habits effortless to maintain:

● Group: A consistent circle of friends to connect with over time.
● Place: A dedicated, comfortable sanctuary to meet and share life.
●Activity: Shared experiences with like-minded people that enhance bonding and vitality.

The "Before & After"

I am healthier today at age 63 than I was at age 53. By following these longevity routines for the past decade, I can now do things I couldn't even achieve as a teenager.

● Then: Living in the high-stress "workaholic" culture of the US, dealing with chronic pain and daily struggle.
● Now: Living in the Azores—pain-free, biking, hiking, and writing.
● The Shortcut: Join us at Golden Mermaid Villa and follow the flow of a longevity-focused community with built-in supportive friends.

A "Longevity Habit" Sneak Peek

Here are three things you can do today to get started:
1. Morning Routine: Spend 5 minutes on the "5-3-2-1" method: 3 stretches, 2 exercises, and 1 balancing activity.
2. Aerobic Walk: Take a brisk 12-minute walk around the block to get your heart rate up.
3. Deep Breathing: Spend 2 minutes taking 10 long, deep breaths to oxygenate your blood and calm your mind.
