Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death & Dying Teach Us about the Mysteries of Life & Living - Elisabeth K�bler-ross

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. \nTen years after Elisabeth K bler-Ross's death: An inspiring...guide to life, distilled from the experiences of people who face death (Kirkus Reviews)--the beloved classic now with a new introduction and updated resources section. \nIs 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. \n \nIn her first book on life and living, Elisabeth K bler-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.\n
