<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The psychiatrist whose "On Death and Dying" (1970) put issues about life's end on the contemporary cultural agenda teams with a leader in the hospice movement in her first book on living. Its 14 thoughtful chapters lead readers from the "Lesson of Authenticity" to the "Lesson of Happiness" by means of illustrative anecdotes from the lives of both authors' patients.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Ten years after Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's death: "An inspiring...guide to life, distilled from the experiences of people who face death" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>)--the beloved classic now with a new introduction and updated resources section.</b> <p/>Is this really how I want to live my life? Each one of us at some point asks this question. The tragedy is not that life is short, but that we often see only in hindsight what really matters. <p/>In her first book on life and living, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross joined with David Kessler to guide us through the practical and spiritual lessons we need to learn so that we can live life to its fullest in every moment. Many years of working with the dying have shown the authors that certain lessons come up over and over again. Some of these lessons are enormously difficult to master, but even the attempts to understand them can be deeply rewarding. Here, in fourteen accessible chapters, from the Lesson of Love to the Lesson of Happiness, the authors reveal the truth about our fears, our hopes, our relationships, and, above all, about the grandness of who we really are.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This is a thought-provoking book, one which in my opinion should be made compulsory. It is insightful, inspirational, intelligent, soothing, emotive, and informative about our seemingly arbitrary existence.--Patricia Devine, The Irish Independent<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD, [1926-2004] was a Swiss-born psychiatrist, humanitarian, and co-founder of the hospice movement around the world.
