This book is about living, even when dying, about recognising and working with what brings value and energy to our lives. It's about dying gracefully and living beautifully. The author is teaching us, from the textbook of his life lived well, his humanity and regrets laid bare. It's a book that inspires and touches. We know of grief and we feel it for him, as he leaves his family - just as we feel it for ourselves when our loved ones pass away.(less)
