Cornaro · The Sober Life

Luigi Cornaro's Discourses on the Sober Life (1558) — the West's most famous practical longevity classic. A Venetian nobleman who collapsed in midlife from excess, recovered through strict dietary moderation, and lived to nearly 100, writing his four discourses between ages 83 and 95. An introduction plus the four discourses, in five modules — bilingual (Chinese lectures + English teaching), with Chinese MP3 narration. (Wellness-focused; his personal food quantities are historical, not a prescribed diet.)
