Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
From the pushy title on down, corporate speaker Izzo (president of The Izzo Group) offers lots of insistent but uninspiring advice for an audience presumably unfamiliar with the real value behind clichés like "be true to your self," "leave no regrets" and "live the moment." Based on interviews with the 235 wisest individuals Izzo could find (culled from some 15,000 nominees), advice boils down to commonsense sayings and platitudes ("every day is a gift"), illustrated by short anecdotes and personal insights. Those new to the self-help genre will find tried and true advice, but little to motivate a real life change.

Book Description
What are the secrets to finding happiness? Why do some people live well and die happy? John Izzo asked thousands of people to identify the wisest person they knew. "The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die" shares what he learned from over 200 people aged 60-106 whom others said had found the meaning in life. From town barbers to Holocaust survivors, from aboriginal chiefs to CEO's, these people had over 18,000 years of life experience. With warmth and wit, this book shares the "Five Secrets" to a happy and purpose-filled life which Izzo distilled from listening to these stories. Dr. Izzo also shows the reader how to put these secrets into practice in our lives. This book will make you laugh, bring you to tears, and inspire you to discover what matters long before you die. Based on a highly acclaimed TV series appearing on public television, this book takes the reader on a heart-warming and profound journey to find lasting happiness.

Wisdom shared,
By Rebel Author "Janice Smith" (Vancouver Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die (Paperback)
I enjoyed the book. John as always is thought provoking and makes some great points through the interviews of the many elders. I always find it intesting to hear the thoughts of those who have journeyed a while here on earth. Grab a copy of this book and share it with friends and family. It will definitely be a conversation starter for many. I agree with John that many people are afraid of their own death, this books helps us to see that is not necessarily a bad thing but part of the journey.

A Great Read-Packed with Wit and Wisdom,
By Tom Johnson (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die (Paperback)
The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die is a beautiful and moving book which reminded me of what really matters. Based on almost 250 interviews with people from 60-106 (all of whom were identified by others as the one person they knew who had found lasting happiness), the book is full of interesting stories about the lives of these people. Practical yet poetic, it warmed my heart while providing real wisdom for living more fully. Well done and a great companion to his previous book, Second Innocence, which is also a great read.
