The five secrets you must discover before you die

The title of this book, the five secrets you must discover before you die, intrigued me - what are these five secrets, are they different from my own beliefs I wondered?

As I started reading the book, the way the author conducted his research inspired me to read more. You see, this book contains secrets not written from theory but secrets from actual life experiences of people. And, the secrets discovered are common reoccurring themes from the author's research. In my opinion, the book has creditability, as it is not a book of theory. One last point about the research conducted; the interviews were all done with people 59 and over. The author, in my view, truly did find wisdom from these people.

The stories and views in the book are true examples of the secrets of those who have lived life, who have seen difficulties but rose above them. This book allows you to benefit from their wisdom. When I think back to my younger years, and what I know now, I have definitely gained wisdom over the years. If I could have read this book earlier in my life, perhaps some of my disappointments, some of my shortcomings, and some of my failures would have been different. This is a wonderful book for people of all ages. The wisdom in the book could benefit many.

There is also a chapter in the book called "the secrets to life in one sentence or less"; these are sentences filled with bountiful wisdom.

And, the author ends the book with questions he asked his elders when doing the interviews. As the author suggests, these questions are great to ask your elders. They are also good questions to ask of oneself.

I would highly recommend this great book!
