Hello and Welcome to Being Doing and Getting Younger Next Year. The online journal of Eddie or Ed Karn depending on when you knew me. Folks who knew me up through high school know Eddie. The rest know Ed. There are a few people in Athens Georgia who may know me as Edward because that’s what they heard my wife call me! 

But back to this site. This site is about BEING the best version of me that I can be. And I become that by Doing things that I love along with, doing things that will help me get YOUNGER NEXT YEAR. Because I not going to be a very good me if I keep getting older and stodgier!

Through the years I have ready many self help books. From classics by the likes of Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie to more contemporary authors like Gretchen Rubin. Alas, though I never thought and grew rich or have a lot of friends or influence anyone. But there are two books whose programs I have put into practice. They are: Ultralongevity and Younger Next Year.I have probably put more of the ideas espoused in Younger Next Year into practice. But the Seven-Step outlined in Ultralongevity is always in my mind as I develop my plans and goals. The following are the key steps or rulesfrom both books

Ultralongevity’s Seven Seven Steps


In Ultralongevity the author Mark Liponis,MD presents a Seven-Step Program for a Younger, Healthier You. The following are the seven steps.

  1. Breathe
  2. Eat
  3. Sleep
  4. Dance
  5. Love
  6. Soothe
  7. Enhance




While in Younger Next Year co-author Harry Lodge,MD outlines his seven rules for turning back your biological clock.
