A Renaissance nobleman wrecked his health by forty, changed everything, and lived past ninety. These are Cornaro's famous discourses on the simple, temperate life he credited for his long and cheerful old age, written across his eighties and nineties with infectious delight. You will discover one of history's most quoted testimonies on moderation, offered as heritage and inspiration rather than medical advice. Short, warm, and strangely modern. Sample it and meet the happiest old man of the sixteenth century.
