The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You DieReadHowYouWant.com, 4 mars 2009 - 260 pages This is a book for people at every stage of life. It is a book for young people who are just starting out on the journey of life. Just as young internet-savvy people use the "net" to tap the experiences of others with products or travel locations, so I hope you will find the life experiences of these people equally fascinating. Wisdom does not have to come when we are old; we can find it much sooner. This is also a book for those in mid-life, like me, who want to ensure that we discover what matters before it is too late. It is also a book for those in their later years, who wish to reflect on their life experiences and discover ways to pass wisdom on to those who follow.....An award-winning writer and author, corporate culture crusader, and global sustainability advocate, John B. Izzo, Ph.D., has devoted his life and career to facilitating deeper conversations about personal values, work culture, life-fulfillment, leadership responsibility, and the true definition of "success."

He has led retreats on creating sustainability, being a better leader, and finding fulfillment in work and life. And he has interviewed and stayed in touch with thousands of individuals to ensure the pulse of people's needs is palpable and understood.
