Show Description: I came across John Izzo's new book Five Things You Must Know Before You Die. I have to say, it is an impressive book. So often in life it becomes easy to get caught up in the little things that really don't matter in life. John does a great job of figure out how to forget the little things and focus on what makes life truly fulfilling.
