Product Description
A cocktail party conversation changed Gay Hendricks’ life forever. A man he’d never met asked him to imagine himself on his deathbed, pondering the question “Was my life a complete success?” And if it wasn’t, the stranger wondered, why? “What would be the things you’d wish had happened that would have made it a success?” This odd encounter proved to be a life-altering experience. Hendricks created a list of five wishes, turning them into powerful affirmations that changed the course of his life, and which have guided his life ever since. Over the years, every one of his five wishes came true. Here, he passes the gift he received in that chance meeting onto others. He helps readers clarify their own wishes, and shows how to phrase them as affirmations. The result is a simple process that anyone can use to find wealth, wisdom, and a joyful, fulfilled life.

 A Wonderful Book October 19, 2007
108 out of 142 found this review helpful
This wonderful book is partly autobiography, partly an allegory and it's just full of inspiration. It's a tremendous story of how by changing our perspective on our problems we can change the energy around us . . . the way people and things react to us.
The author says in Chapter 2, "What I've come to see is that completing something, no matter how large or how small, puts you into harmony with the universe." How many of us start something but don't finish it? And what a wonderful, fulfilled feeling when we've completed the task. Don't we feel better about ourselves?
The author says, "In my thirties, I received the gift of a question that changed the course of my life. My decision to answer that question gave me a life in which all my dreams came true. Now I want to offer you this gift, so you can use its gentle power to create your own fulfilled life."
It is so true that one seemingly small thing that we hear, read or see, or as in the authors case, a question we're asked, will instantly change us. It will change the course of our lives. But are we prepared to be receptive to that happening?
Highly recommended.
 Worth the Effort October 6, 2007

I wanted to devote just a couple of hours on a rainy Saturday afternoon to the task of reading this book and then doing the soul-searching exercises that followed. It was worth the small amount of time and effort. An easy read with powerful examples, this book caused me to pause and think about how to chart the rest of my life. "From the perspective of your deathbed, what matters is that your final breath comes in with the sweet satisfaction of a life fulfilled and goes out with the blessings of a life complete." Isn't that what we all want?
Questions that can help you discern your purpose December 3, 2007

Jack Canfield recommended this book to his email list, and I bought it. I find this strategy of looking back on your life many years from now on your deathbed, and asking the right questions about your life to be instructive and valuable.
Using the future to discern now, what if anything is missing from your life that would make it worthwhile, and take the necessary action to attain those important goals.
The author shows how he discovered five important wishes for his life following a chance encounter at a party. Pursuing these wishes helped him resolve lifelong issues which were holding him back, particularly in love relationships. If it worked for him it could work for you. Particularly valuable is the idea of completing, described in chapter 2, and I particularly liked that he shares his sticking points and breakthroughs, and I could relate his experiences to my own dilemmas.
You are probably wondering what value you can derive from this book, and what ideas it might give you that you can apply. How much would learning what would make your life satisfying be worth? If you are like me, the answer is worth a lot more than what Amazon is asking.

Five Wishes - a great approach October 23, 2007

This book is on how to discover five wishes that will give you a fulfilled life beginning from the perspective of looking back. A stranger had asked the author to imagine himself on his deathbed and to consider this question: "Was your life a complete success?" If not, "What would be the things you'd wish had happened that would have made it a success?" This is a great technique for unlocking the power of "tricking" ourselves into figuring out what is truly most important to us and what is our destiny. How sad to live our whole life and never really ask ourselves, "What is my destiny?" This book reminds me to focus on pursuing what is most important in life. If you want to focus on both body and mind, also check out "[[ASIN:097974590X THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams]]".
