Were those the Carmelite nuns? I think they were cloistered.Interestingly
enough there are other Carmelites(Discalced) and Missionary.The cloistered
have a closer social interaction.When I was studying to be a Trappist
monk at Gethsemani(under the tutelage of Thomas Merton),we had some older
monks but they were given a diet of meat for strength.Btw,Jehovah witnesses
also achieve longevity.I am curious as to the data for the Amish.

I've heard "Miss Conduct's Mind Over Manners" is a great summer read,
combining etiquette and psychology!
(Actually, at the moment I'm reading Norgate's "Beyond 9 to 5: Your Life
in Time," which I'm enjoying a good deal. Another recommendation:
"Helping" by Ed Schein at the Sloan School of Business--particularly
recommended if you like the work of Erving Goffman.)

Among other things, I'll be taking a look at Matthew Goodman's
"The Sun and the Moon: The Remarkable True Account of Hoaxers,
Showmen, Dueling Journalists, and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth-Century
New York" which is an account of how tabloid journalism got its start
in New York City with the newspaper New York Sun. It might be of
general interest as it points out the role that the popular media plays
in influencing what people think they know about reality (e.g., the
moon is inhabited by Man-Bats [not to be confused with Bat-Man]).
It is available on Amazon and one can read the reviews there:

And it is available on books.google.com in limited preview:
