A thought-provoking, soulful exploration of how life can change for the better when one faces one's mortality with courage and openness. The authors tell how they went looking for the answers to life's most perplexing questions and began living more meaningful and conscious lives as a result. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, the authors discuss the simple insights and practical skills they developed for connecting the frustrating "outer world" we confront daily with the transformative "inner world" of heart, mind, and soul where we live our real lives.
The author's write in a very thought provoking way, challenging the reader to look at their life and figure out 'what it's about'. It's been a couple of months since I have read this, however how we react to situations is 'never about what it's about'.
This isn't a self-help book, but a chance to read how 2 other people began to look at their life while waiting to die. And it's more than just stopping to smell the roses...
