  <description><![CDATA[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 PBS, this book takes the reader on a heart-warming and profound journey to find lasting happiness.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[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 PBS, this book takes the reader on a heart-warming and profound journey to find lasting happiness.]]>

    <![CDATA[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 PBS, this book takes the reader on a heart-warming and profound journey to find lasting happiness.]]>

While much of this you probably already know, the author takes a unique approach to this idea by interviewing people older than 60 who other people admire for living well.
