Most people’s notion about how long they’re going to live is an oppressive thought. They feel confined by a certain number of years, an age expectation based on family history and averages. But what if you could extend your lifetime? How would adding extra years impact the way you live now?
My goal of living to 156 may sound outrageous at the outset. But in reading this book, I think you’ll find that the imagination can have a huge impact on our behavior, and a simple mindset shift can literally change every thought in your brain.

Eye opening. Total mind shifting experience for me. It is not about the number and not about the future. I got the number for how I live in my present moment. Since making this mindset shift, I started to feel that I said “what the heck, might as well do XXX”, “I always wish for XXX if I were younger, guess what, now it is time to make different choices with the life lessons I learnt in this “age” or stage of life”, with the new number.
And I particularly love that “I release others’ to fulfil my needs or my happiness.” No matter I much I said I had done it and I know it is right, I still get disappointed when others (smaller social or family and friends circle) or bigger society”… I am moved by the conviction and the possibilities of this mindset shift and the result of this mindset shift.
The basic idea can be summarised in a sentence: We will all be living longer (and longer than we think) thanks to advances in medicine, but the extra years of your life won't count for much if you don't have friends (of all ages), and independent source of income and a purpose in life.
The rest was mostly an elaborate advertisement to visit the author's website.
