This could be the best "self help/improvement" book available. This book WILL change your life if you put its simple yet profound principles into practice, and anyone can do it. You will buy this book for all the important people in your life. A truly imaginative story that is so easy to read, you will read it over and over and enjoy it every time. BUY THIS BOOK, READ IT, THEN READ IT AGAIN! Master this book and you will never look at your watch the same way again. Learn to RESET, and how to increase your Sage Age and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! If you ever get the chance to see Giovanni in person, do yourself a favor and do whatever you can to see him and meet him. The experience will be worth your efforts. You will be rewarded.

Live A Thousand Years is a highly imaginative book that reads somewhat like an adult fairy tale. It focuses on a busy executive who is, like most of us, not getting enough out of his life. He takes a trip with The Timekeeper and learns about the Twelve Chimes. The Twelve Chimes will help each reader measure their life by experiences, moments and lessons learned. This colorful book is very easy to read and much less ponderous than many of the self help books out there. I recommend you buy it for yourself and for all of your overstressed loved ones. Included in the back of the book is a gorgeous poster that helps you remember and use the Twelve Chimes.

The theme of the book is to live each hour to the fullest -- a simple message, yet one we need to be reminded to follow.
Told in parable form, our protagonist learns the wisdom of the "twelve chimes", through an adventurous journey with a magical timekeeper.

The twelve chimes to live your life include:
1) Time for yourself
2) Time to be positive
3) Time to give
4) Time for relationships
5) Time to learn
6) Time in the moment
7) Time to dream
8) Time to play
9) Time to work
10) Time to forgive
11) Time to be brave
12) Time to reset

Quick and entertaining read. Recommended.

This book was a gift to me for my 40th birthday. I read it cover to cover upon opening it. It was so creativly inspirational that I decided to purchase 10 copies to present to the CEO of my company and others to encourage them to utilize this book for our managers and executives. Time is the greatest gift of all, in your personal or professional life. This book puts that into perspective. Too many "fast paced" people out there chasing something and missing out. This had to be THE best birthday gift. Livera is a genius! You HAVE to buy this book!

I read this and then sent for 4 more to give away. It is a short, well written but inspiring book about time and how we spend it.

A wonderful story we can all relate to. Really helps put your life in order and on track. Thank you for the insights. I have shared this book with many friends. Fast read but stays with you forever!

I recieved the book after experiencing Gio's presentation, at a business function. It took a few weeks to find the time to read it, but once I began I couldn't put it down. Since then my son and I read it together, and he to loved the story - and grew to respect the point: live life.

I purchased 10 copies for friends and co-workers. Everyone has complimented the book and the call to simply take these 12 points and live forever - sort of. Its an excellent story - Thanks Gio!!!

I received this book as a gift and did not pick it up for a couple of weeks...not until I was ready for the lessons. This book was such a wonderful read that I finished it overnight. I laugh and cried as I traveled with Nick on his journey. I am now ready to travel my own life's journey to improved my own life and this book will be my guide.
I purchased additional copies the very day I finished reading my copy. This book will make the most awesome gift to anyone who is experiencing life's changes...that's everyone. I wish everyone about to read this book a great journey as it can be life changing if you open your heart and mind.

Enjoy!

If you haven't yet learned the 12 Chimes taught in this book, you won't know the value of "Time to Reset". Giovanni Livera is the most dynamic presenter I've ever seen. This book really captures his unique way of communicating life strategies that create more meaningful experiences. If you like textbooks, this book is not for you. If you enjoy engaging your imagination and learning while being entertained, you will love this book. At the back of the book is "The Document of Discovery", an engaging tool that helps you quickly assess where you are strong and weak in the 12 Chimes. This is a great exercise for self, family or a group of friends. I bought it for every member of my family and now I'm the most popular relative. Keep 'em coming, Gio!

My best friend recommended this book. I went to two books stores while at the beach.. they were sold out. I decided to order from Amazon. Although the content is similar to other inspirational books, I could easily relate the the story of the 12 chimes. I couldn't put the book down, each chime represents a better way to live. Love of self, taking time to develop our gifts and talents, taking time to enjoy the simple joys of life and love. Forgiveness and the power that comes from releasing grudges, ill feelings and ourselves from unhealthy relationships. The book leaves you feeling inspired and open to incorporating the 12 chimes that represent the chapters in our lives. Well worth the money!
