The intimate account of how various diseases take away life, offered in How We Die, is not meant to prompt horror or terror but to demythologize the process of dying, to help us rid ourselves of that fear of the terra incognita.

Life is a completely lawful experience because of the universal laws of reincarnation and karma that draw individuals together. Rather than being some type of unavoidable destiny or a fate about which we can do very little, the Edgar Cayce material instead sees karma as essentially an unconscious reservoir of information stored within the soul's memory.

As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from the "space between lives", which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss' family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

Highly sensitive people - or empaths - see life through the eyes of compassion and caring. They were born that way. As a result, they carry a tremendous amount of inner light. But they’re also the favored prey of “vampires” who feed off empaths’ energy and disrupt their lives on every level - physical, emotional, and financial.

Two-thirds of us have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience, or ACE, such as abuse, neglect, parental substance dependence, or mental illness. Even though these events may have occurred long ago, they have the power to haunt us long into adulthood, and now we have found that they may even contribute to lifelong illness. Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, the founder/CEO of the Center for Youth Wellness and recipient of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award, expands on similar topics as in her popular TED talk.

Good book, badly read.

Publisher's Summary
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.
In what was her first book on life and living, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross joined with David Kessler to guide listeners 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 showed 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 14 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.

I tried . . . but . . .
What disappointed you about Life Lessons?
Okay, this is my second attempt to get through a Kubler-Ross book, I thought with a co-author the book might have a different angle other that the ultimate orientation to Christianity. I got through more than half the book but I used one of the messages in the book and said, "life is too short to waste my time with something I'm not enjoying" so I stopped listening to it. I have no objection to the messages the authors are attempting to convey but its done in such a narrow veil of God and religion that I feel tricked. Plus, whilst the performance is going on, there are no references to back up claims made in the book. I believe that this book and other books like it are valuable to a specific audience and should be labeled as religious books! Audible, you're on notice. . . !
Has Life Lessons turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, this is my field of study.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I don't usually 'love' books actually.
Any additional comments?
I'll be returning this one.

disappointed
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I can't even imagine.
Would you ever listen to anything by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and David Kessler again?
I have no problem with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and Gabrielle de Cuir did a fantastic job reading her work. David, however, should not read or write on the subject. His words are littered with cliches and platitudes. Worse, he uses "absolutes" constantly. I had to fast forward to the small sections when Gabrielle was reading Elisabeth's words to find some enjoyment of this work.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I felt like David was preaching at me the entire time - not in a good way.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Frustration and extreme disappointment. I found myself yelling at the car radio as I was driving and listening. David should step outside of his small circle and study some good writers and learn more about how the brain works.

So happy with this choice and have been passing it on
This book along with another book co-authored by David Kessler and Louise Hay, came my way at a time of heart break, pain and grief. When I lost someone I lived and one that I imagined is the one for my life. At the hardest times to cope with this reality and understanding the possible reasons behind what had happened, these books found me and I found them. I have and I will be listening to them again and again. While not a religious person, I found the lessons and guiding here most helpful. Thank you David Kessler, Elizabeth Kubler Ross, Louise Hay, and my friend and my counsellor who somehow had a helping hand in directing me to find these books. Thank you Amazon and Audible! Lots of love
