Life In 20 Lessons: What A Funeral Guy Discovered About Life, From Death

by Chris Meyer

If you could fast forward your life to your deathbed and hear your regrets (and joys), then rewind and live your life with that knowledge, would you do it? This book provides that knowledge. After fourteen years in the funeral business, Chris Meyer has sat with families and listened to their "could'ves," "should'ves," and "would'ves." In doing so he learned many lessons--lessons that kept repeating themselves year after year. Meyer knew he could help a lot of people with this information. So he sat down and memorialized the lessons he learned to share with the some simple, some profound, some irreverent. Lessons from life, from death, from surviving. But make no mistake, this is NOT a story about dying...this is a story of living. This is...Life in 20 Lessons. Poignant. Funny. Filled with love.

[Upen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a bad book but nothing great either. I expected so much more and I think that’s why I feel a little let down by this book. After reading Tuesday with Morrie , someone suggested this book but it’s not a patch.

Worth a one time read though
