Using a powerful narrative voice, Dr. Izzo helps the reader understand the common themes from the lives of those interviewed, the commonality of what really matters in their lives, and especially how to put this wisdom into practice. REAL WISDOM FROM REAL PEOPLE: Based centrally on over 200 interviews conducted with people between the ages of 60-106, The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die is powerful, personal, and practical. The interviewees ranged from aboriginal elders to town barbers, from Hollacaust survivors to former CEO's. In these interviews, each person was asked to reflect back on his or her life to identify the sources of happiness and meaning as well as lessons learned, regrets, major crossroads, and what did not contribute to meaning in their lives.
