Review Quotes

"Elise's advice is wise, heartfelt and original." -Julie Rappaport, author of 365 Yoga: Daily Meditations

"Elise Marie Collins has gotten the mix just right.... with simple health techniques that can make a real difference in your life. And all this is done with a knowledgeable, yet light and sometimes droll, touch. " --Judith Lasater, author of Living Your Yoga

"Super Ager, like Elise, is bold, brave, innovative and sweet. Rather than shying away from our cultural aversion to aging, she goes into the heart of what is happening in these tiny pockets around the planet where our human elders are thriving into the 80's, 90's, and beyond. Elise shares the stories of these Super Agers, in their voices, in their cultures, so these experiences of common, everyday Super Agers ignite your vision for your future. " --Cate Stillman, author of Body Thrive

"Super Ager is a great inspiration to encourage humanity to not only live longer but better. This book provides the answers to why it is important to have purpose in life, along with a trusted community that supports you. The author, Elise Marie Collins, gives us sound information that motivates us to eat a mostly plant-based diet and to move our bodies, even if it's just walking, in a way that communicates - I AM ALIVE!" --Saeeda Hafiz, author of The Healing: One Woman's Journey from Poverty to Inner Riches

"What does it mean to age well? Rather than reinforce the harmful narrative set forth by popular culture, Elise Marie Collins provides a fresh approach to aging well. Super Ager is manual for living well, aging with grace and keeping that youthful bounce in your step. It is the definitive 'how-to' book for celebrating the second half of life!" --Darren Main, author of Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic

"Elise researched all the common attributes of the world's "Blue Zones" (places where the most people live to be over 100) and laid them all out for us. What makes this book special is that it deals with a topic most of us care about-how to live longer, which sounds like a very serious, maybe even daunting read. But this book guides us along in a way that's clear, easy and also fun to digest. All the book's claims rest on a solid bedrock of science, yet it's delivery is warm, light, and inviting--which is another kind of medicine altogether. Elise is onto something. Not just how to live well and long (and that's HUGE). She's a real teacher and knows how to inspire rather than explain. I sailed easily through the book and have continually referred back to it as a reference." --Foster & Flourish
