Younger Than Last Year: The Seven Foundations of the Art of Life

What does it mean to live fully-not someday, but now?

For Robert W. Troch III, the answer lies not in a fixed program but in a practice of small, meaningful steps every day.

In Younger Than Last Year, Robert draws on more than three decades of fitness training, coaching, and lived experience to distill the seven foundations of the Art of Life, an approach to how we move, think, and show up in our lives:

• Mindset of Awareness
• Breathing
• Rest and Recovery
• Fuel
• Mobility and Flexibility
• Strength
• Passion

Through this combination of health, fitness, and philosophy, Robert shows how small, consistent changes improve how we recover, perform, and enjoy deep connection with our body.

Accessible to beginners and competitive athletes alike, Robert's foundations meet people where they are and provide the tools not for perfection but for steady progress toward a healthy, intentional life.

All proceeds from Younger Than Last Year will support Kaiju Kastle, a nonprofit established in Robert's memory that champions a community of model kit hobbyists.
