"What brought you the greatest joy? What do you wish you had learned sooner? What ultimately mattered and what didn't?" asks Dr. John Izzo. Based on a highly acclaimed public television series, this book takes the reader on a heartwarming and profound journey to find lasting happiness.

Imagine for a moment that you are about to take a foreign vacation to an exotic destination. You have saved your entire life to travel there. It is a destination with almost unlimited choices of how to spend your time and you know you will not have enough time to explore every opportunity. You are fairly certain that you will never get to take a second trip to this destination; this will be your one opportunity.

Now imagine that someone informs you that there are several people in your neighborhood who have been to that country, explored every corner. Some of them enjoyed the journey and have few regrets, but others wish they could take the trip again knowing what they know now. Would you not invite them over for dinner, ask them to bring their photographs, listen to their stories, and hear their advice?

This is precisely the journey explored in this book. Dr. John Izzo and his colleagues interviewed over 200 people, ages 60-106, who were identified by friends and acquaintances as "the one person they knew who had found happiness and meaning." From town barbers to Holocaust survivors, from aboriginal chiefs to CEOs, these people had over 18,000 years of life experience between them. He asked them questions like, "What brought you the greatest joy? What do you wish you had learned sooner? What ultimately mattered and what didn't?"

Here Izzo shares their stories--funny, moving, and thought-provoking--and the Five Secrets he learned from listening to them. This book will make you laugh, bring you to tears, and inspire you to discover what matters long before you die.

Assess Epithetical Books The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die

This book initially bored me because it went through what you could cynically call the 'typical' steps to discover true happiness. However, it took a drastic positive turn for me when it identified five very high level life mindsets to integrate in one's life to find true balance and happiness. The important issue for me was that they were mindsets, not accomplishments. Also, it provided reflection questions for each mindset that would help a person make minor adjustments to stay on the mark,

Am enjoying this tremendously and did so to the end. i feel this is a book that I will read and re-read with increasing enjoyment every time.

Not many books can change your life. But I think that this is one of them. Read it now.

My husband I listened to this as an audio book on a recent road trip. Granted, it is not an uplifting read but it held both of our interests during a fairly long trip and my husband is not a reader. Although repetitive in parts, it gets down to the nitty and gritty fairly quickly. The five secrets do make a lot of sense and the author bases these secrets on many interviews conducted with happy people over 60. Happy is the key word here as happy people are not so afraid to die or at least that is

Phenomenal book on wisdom and how to become wiser. This book has changed my views on life especially after losing my grandmother recently who was my mentor.

What does a happy life, a life well lived, look like? That is the question this author sets out to research. This book is a description of what he learned from interviewing over 200 people ages 60 to 106. Each person had been identified by friends and family as the one person they knew who had found happiness and meaning. It turns out there are concepts that these happy people all have in common, leading to the authors life secrets. And the best news is that anyone, of any age, can start

When it was initially suggested that I read this book by a dear friend, I was initially cautious of the title alone. However once I started reading I found myself periodically having to periodically pause and not only examine my life, how I got to this point and what it would be like if I were able to apply the principles of wisdom that were passed along. I think the author does a wonderful job of taking the information gathered from those he spoke with and offering suggestions into our daily
