Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death and Dying Teach Us About the Mysteries of Life and Living

Thank you Ginger, so much, for loaning me this book. Each chapter is one of fourteen lessons about life, and what's important in life. Each author adds their own thoughts to a particular lesson and the narrative flows wonderfully. There are so many good points that I outlined the book in my personal journal for future reference. If you find yourself stuck on the treadmill of life I recommend this book for its emphasis on what's important. It will help you release the stress of the daily mundane and value life.

In Life Lessons, her first book on life and living, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross joins with David Kessler to guide readers 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 can be difficult to master, but even the attempts to understand them are 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, the grandness of who we really are.

Anyone looking for advice and lessons on living life to the fullest, show more in regards to happiness, relationships, and hopes and fears, without regards to death. show less

Si bien comienza prometiendo ser un libro mas enfocado en el estudio del proceso de la muerte, termina siendo una especie de libro se auto superación.

Definitivamente un pelín menos esotérico que la Rueda de la Vida, pero se sigue mezclando la Psicología con la religión, sobre todo en los últimos capítulos.

Sigo esperando ese libro que me ayude a comprender mejor el proceso y a ser un apoyo para los pacientes.
