Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

After experiencing a paralysing stroke in 1995 and facing her own mortality, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross (author of the renowned On Death and Dying) realised she had some unfinished business to take care of. "I wanted to write one more book, not on death and dying, but on life and living", she explains. So she joined forces with co-author David Kessler, a leader in the field of hospice care, and together they wrote about the lessons we can learn about living from those who are dying. As Kessler explains in his Introduction, "The dying have always been teachers of great lessons, for it's when we are pushed to the edge of life that we see most clearly".

In days gone by, the community would have gathering places where children and adults listened to elders tell their stories of life's challenges and the meaning they found in life. In lieu of that kind of extended community, the authors offer this book, filled with stories from the edge. Then, like fireside elders, they weave these personal stories into themes, such as living authentically, the importance of play, finding one's power, loving relationships and self-compassion. One cannot say enough about the lasting value of this beautifully written and carefully rendered book. This is your chance to see life from the 20-20 vision of hindsight. In the end what will we value most? Here are some hints: the days we surrendered and became calm, the times we healed that which was broken, and of course all the moments we opened ourselves to love. --Gail Hudson



Product Description

A guide to facing life's challenges, in answer to the question: "Is this really how I want to live my life?". This book covers 14 crucial areas: identity, love and relationships, loss and fear, power, time, tolerance, patience, surrender, guilt, happiness, play and creativity.

5.0 out of 5 stars I knew this book would help., 30 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Having struggled with diffrent issues in my life, i am always open to books that involve looking at emotions that touch that deep place inside. And this book does that, i came across this book in an article in one of our national newspapers. The small excerpts that i read touched me so much that i had to get the complete book for myself.

This book is a healing balm. No one can take control for you, in life you make your choices, be they right or wrong, and at times life with all its twists and turns, can be very hard. Yet inside these pages are people who have lived lives, who are in most cases seriously ill or dying, and the things they have to tell us are rare, full of love, kindness, trust and hope. To overcome the emotions of, bewillderment, anguish, fear is just so inspiring. This book will not make you a better or more deserving person, but in times of self introspection, when you feel that no one can possibly understand, and you feel alone. To read the pages in this book, and meet the people inside, to take what is offered, will give a sense of peace and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have ever read, 30 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Life Lessons is one of those books that EVERYONE should read. It is a call to all of us to live deeper richer lives. Because so many of the thoughts and lessons are taken from individuals, who were near death, including author, Elizabeth Kubler Ross, each lesson is deeply inspiring and profound.
I used David Kessler's book "The Needs of the Dying" as my guide while my father was ill and it provided my family and I with great comfort. I also highly recommend it for anyone in that situation.

While both these experts are known for their work with death and dying, LIFE LESSONS IS ABOUT LIFE....... LIVING AND LIVING WELL.
Life Lessons has and will continue to aid me with my life, as well as those around me and I believe it will help me to live it more fully and with more appreciation. I have given out many copies as gifts to friends. Every one of them has come back and thanked me again after reading it. It has changed many lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Lessons, 19 Mar 2005
By Sandeep Gill (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Yet another from the heart book by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. This book has such depth and yet remains concise. Whilst Kubler-Ross has previously emphasised on death and dying this book takes a slightly different pathway with much focus on how we live our lives today. Life Lessons does not offer a description on how to live your life, but offers a philosophical approach which i promise will make you think twice with the way you behave and the decisions you make daily (for the better). Once you start reading you'll find it hard to put the book down back down!!!
