Alive Until You're Dead: What 10,000 Deaths Taught Me About Living
What if the only way to learn how to live... is to face death 10,000 times?
Emergency physician Hiroshi Imai, M.D., Ph.D. has stood beside more than 10,000 dying patients in Japan’s busiest ERs. He’s heard last words whispered, seen lives slip away in seconds—and witnessed unexpected recoveries that defy logic.
In *Alive Until You’re Dead*, Dr. Imai shares unforgettable stories from the front
– A son who never got to say goodbye
– A young woman who asked to die, but came back to live
– A man who smiled after losing a leg, saying, “One less shoe to buy”
– Strangers who saved a life with just courage and a heartbeat
– And a quiet Time is life.
This book is not about death. It’s about how to live—fully, urgently, and gratefully—while you still can.
*Memento Mori. And even more importantly—Memento Vivere.*
*(Remember to live.)*
