In Finish Empty, a sequel to Chop Wood Carry Water, Medcalf offers a profound and insightful look at the lessons we can learn from facing mortality.

The book is written in an easy to read format, urging us to consider what truly matters in life and how we can live with greater intention.

Medcalf remains one of my favorite authors. His unique storylines are a great way to digest life lessons, and this book is another hit. I was hooked from the first chapter.

Fake. This man is an empty shell. Do not follow his words. Look elsewhere for a better human, this one isn’t it.
