What I think is interesting is that these are all Type A personalities who focused for 40 straight years on one thing: Money.

So they made it. Now what? Only two more worries: A) their life ending B) the world ending

So they now focus all of their energies on those two. Its interesting how many choose Ashtanga Yoga to prolong their lives. they must've done their research. Great post!

>they must've done their research.

I doubt so.

There are 1210 billionaries in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billionaire

Five from them do A.Y. Less than percent.

If you think about it most of them have sacrificed so much of their life to be successful they want to prolong their life so they can enjoy spoils of success. Most successful people are good with the delayed gratification. The really rich do some weird things.

Some things these rich people are doing besides yoga. - Isoloation/Float tanks- totally relaxes them and releases them from stress. Also creates a great environment to be creative. Shuts off all sensory input and it is just you and your mind.

- office treadmills: they have treadmills that go for 1 mile per hour. people can walk and work at the same time.Rupert murdoch son is known to use it. There is this theory where people are unhealthy and have heart problems because they sit around all day. The body is meant to move. Constant movement not only creates a higher metabolism, but it also makes you feel better becasue of endorphins. There is also a belief that good physiology = good psychology.

Why is this posted on Hacker News? I find it rather offensive as it does NOT seem to belong here.

You really find it "offensive?" Your account was created 9 days ago, and this is your only comment thus far.

Yes I find it offensive because it doesn't seem to contain real content but appears to be a revenue generation scheme and something I used to appreciate about hacker news was it's lack of blatant crap articles.

The point in time I created my account bears no evidence towards the duration with which I have read hacker news or any previous accounts I may have held here.

Something you "used to appreciate about hacker news"?

What, like, last week when you first joined?

Oh, yes, those were the good old days!

Actually 37 days ago right before you created your account...

Seriously donnacha you're being kind of a prick here. Given that I feel like this post is an SEO trick and your specialization appears to be SEO...
