Longevity is the biggest mystery that scientists worldwide are trying to unravel.

Governments and billionaires have poured funds into research to find the secret of longevity that keeps supercentenarians happy and thriving.

Dexter Kruger, a 111-year-old centenarian has hacked the code of longevity by living a simple life and has become the world’s oldest Australian.

Everyone yearns to live a long and healthy life, but he aimed to be the oldest person in Australia, and he achieved that goal.

His habits and mindset can teach you to hack longevity faster than any study.

A century condensed in simple life lessons that can help you boost your health and longevity.

Suffering is the gateway to change

A century will make you the best student at the University of hard knocks. You’ll have more than enough opportunities to learn the ugly truth of life.

He lived through two wars, multiple pandemics, and endless droughts. Suffering was synonymous with life.

He believes when times get tough, you have to get tougher. Suffering is necessary for progress, as nothing changes if everything goes fine.

You don’t get much progress when things go right.

— Dxter Kruger

So, challenges are part of the process that inspires change. Learn to roll with the punches to live a long and happy life.

Struggle is a catalyst for change; you can’t evolve without it. So, hold onto the happy times but learn to deal with the tough times as well.

A big change that transformed his life trajectory was starting a business at 23. He went from being a working man to an employer overnight.

This was a big change that led to immense progress in his life. He doesn’t recall the struggles of starting a business but the lessons he learned along the way.
