Very enjoyable and poignant

No use running away from the inevitable, and this book is invaluable in learning more.

Oh my !

I would give book a 10! Touching, informative , a necessary subject to be discussed.

Such a great book!

I really thought this book was great all the way around! The only thing that I wish is that it included some story about someone who wanted to end their medical suffering but isn't allowed to do so in the State that we live in. How do you handle that person? otherwise...the book is very well written and nariated. Five stars!

One of the best books ever

Loved this book. The reader was fabulous and the story so real. Very helpful for living. Helpful to plan dying and so real.

Honesty, Humanity and Compassion

This is an extraordinary book. As a semi-retired Neurologist I can tell you that Dr Mannix's book could only be written by someone with a rare combination of clinical skill, humility, honesty, humanity and compassion. I was by turns amused, amazed, inspired and brought to tears as I listened to the stories of ordinary (and some extraordinary) people confronting their imminent death. I learned much as a clinician from listening to this book, but I think I learned even more as a human being concerning ways of reflecting on, and valuing the certain knowledge that we will all die at some (currently unknown) future time. I believe Dr Mannix will convince any open-minded person of the value of that reflection and learning. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, and have already begun giving copies to those I care about.
