Nora liked Lily's review of The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing: "read this for my work book club. Not good. Cured her own cancer by meditating? Dismisses antidepressants as "happy pills"? Very positive-psychology, have new age-y faith and goodness will flow, etc. Perhaps in Australia they haven't discovered the co" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Nora Stone (?)

“A profound thanks to my partner in all things, Brandon Colvin. He is my favorite person, and the person I admire most. His faith in me is a beacon. If I need help, he is there, helping me untangle problems and express myself more clearly. If I need motivation, he is there, reminding me of my passion for research and filmmaking. If I need comfort, he is there, delighting and embracing me every single day. This book, and my life, would be much poorer without him by my side.”
