We have developed an alternative to the standard model of particle physics. In our model, the mass of an elementary particle, like its charge, is an intrinsic property of the particle determined by its internal structure and internal kinematics. There is no Higgs mechanism. In this paper we briefly review the current status of our model including the main results of calculations that we have reported previously. We then turn our attention to particle stability. We note a possible reason for the stability of the proton and the electron and, as a further application of our approach, we present a calculation of the neutron lifetime.
