Learn how to reclaim the innocence, idealism, and wonder that come with you, and gain a new perspective on daily life, work, love, and faith.
Is it possible to age yet keep the sense of wonder we had as children and experience the joy of being alive every day? Can we hold on to our ideals at work and in life even after watching the evening news? Do we have the power to change the world around us?
Second Innocence is about rediscovering the wonder and joys of life at any age. Based on his own unique experiences-the death of his father, a rowing trip with his grandfather, his first real job, first love, a family suicide, teachers he remembers for their unique courage, and his experiences as a leader, lover, parent, and friend-John Izzo's compelling stories will encourage you to reconnect with and learn from your own life stories.
Izzo tackles four key areas of human experience (daily life, work, love, and faith) and will lead you to new perspectives on your own life and provide thought-provoking insights for reclaiming the innocence, idealism, and wonder that we often associate with youth.
