Data drives the modern corporation. As the saying goes, you can’t manage what you can’t measure. This may be good advice for getting a handle on a supply chain or making accurate financial projections, but it’s terrible advice for how to live a long and healthy life. On this Father’s Day, let me share some advice from my own father who lived into his 90s.

When it came to staying happy and healthy, he never followed a diet or embraced a strict supplement regimen or an exercise program. Instead, my father stayed socially engaged, physically active in ordinary ways, and intellectually curious. He understood that wellness was not about performance or perfection, but rather about long-term consistency and enjoyment while prioritizing family and community.
