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.

Vocal is nasal and cadence is stiff

If you can grit your teeth to get through the performance, the content is solid.

Highly recommend

Excellent perspective how to make the most of life! Deeply thoughtful and wise truths to make one appreciate their life

Moving, thoughtful

I definitely will read / hear this book again, so I can remember what matters in this life

Well narrated book

Lots of information for those interested. I have not finished the book but it is a very interesting and thought provoking book.

Thank you to the authors.

amazing! life changing!

What an awesome book. Highly recommended for anyone feeling depressed and without purpose. You DO have a purpose and you can take steps to be happy in any situation, knowing that there is a master plan and that you aren't responsible for the plan. I will love greater and you can too.

Encouraging

I really enjoyed this, it brought a lot of peace and enlightenment into my life during my difficult times of losing a love one

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

Extraordinary book. Thank you.

An absolutely extraordinary book that deeply touched my heart and shifted something. Highly recommend to everyone and anyone. I’m an audiobook snob so I will admit that the narration did not resonate with me, however sometimes it’s worth substituting a great read or performance to hear it in the actual writer’s words. He is after all a doctor and writer, not an actor, and it was sweet to hear him speak his message, actor or no. The female narration did not resonate much with me either, but she had the very hard task of stepping into a titan’s shoes, and she did transmit a lot of love in her voice, which in the end is all that matters. So I am also very grateful to both narrators because I don’t have much time to read, and listening enabled me to experience this book. Thank you.

Very enlightening

Loved it
I love anything by David Kessler and Elizabeth Kubler Ross.
Always valuable lessons.

Sorry but I don't write reviews because it's a one way thing and I don't even know if anyone cares about my thoughts..
