Product Description

Product Description

The memoirs of one of the world's foremost experts on death, dying and life after death. The book traces the path she followed from her birthplace in Switzerland to her present residence in Arizona. It explains how her work with relief organizations after World War II influenced her research on death and dying. Kubler-Ross shot to fame in 1969 upon the publication of her seminal work, "On Death and Dying". This book spells out her somewhat unconventional position on life after death as well as her more recent criticisms of the quality of care found in hospitals. Her own story, which takes into account her experiences as a wife and mother, is punctuated with behind-the-scenes accounts of her moving case studies.


From the Back Cover

Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross shot to world fame in 1969 upon publication of her seminal work, On Death and Dying. Since then, through her groundbreaking work with the terminally ill she has brought comfort and understanding to millions. Now, confronted with her own death, she offers a work that is as inspiring, insightful and incendiary as anything she has written in the past.

In this moving, much-anticipated memoir Elisabeth Kubler-Ross traces the events that shaped her intellectually and spiritually - events which led her to explain the ultimate truth that death does not exist but is a transformation. We see how her happy childhood formed the solid base from which her outspoken and confident views sprang. From her work in war-ravaged Poland to her pioneering counselling of the terminally ill, her legendary seminars and her eye-opening discussions with people who had been revived after death, we learn how each experience provided her with a new piece of the puzzle.

Dr Kubler-Ross's affirmation of life after death has sent shock waves through the medical and New Age communities alike. The Wheel of Life is destined to ignite further controversy and debate, for it is the thought-provoking final statement on life and living from one of the most inspirational women of our times.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling and moving read, 14 Nov 1999
Funny old thing, this thing called Life. What's it all about? Why are we here? Is there really life after death? There must be surely......... I found The Wheel of Life very moving and "down to earth". Having lost close members of family myself, I identified with Elisabeth Kubler Ross's experiences and her account of life's cycle. At last I'm as sure as any of us can be that my questions have been answered. Even the most cyncial of us mortals would take some comfort from reading it.

As I turned the last page and finally put the book down I felt a great sense of calm and assurity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably one of the most rivetting books I have ever read!, 1 May 2000
This book is an eye opener to those of us who already have the belief that people should be 'cared for' with the human touch when they are dying. This wonderful woman had so much insight into the concept that 'touch' is SO important and not 'fear' when a person is terminally ill, and actually have something to look forward to instead of dreading. She also makes the person feel that they should LIVE until they DIE, which is vital to all concerned. She also emphasises the point of being honest with the patient or friend, and, especially children. Having nursed dying children myself, I know that they KNOW they are dying and accept that with the peace that Elisabeth Kubler-Ross describes so very well in this wonderful book. Buy it for yourself, it will give you and yours peace of mind in the face of death, the last taboo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heart wrenching, invaluable biography of a life well lived, 30 Jul 2001
By claire.beckham@ntlworld.com (Darlington, England) - See all my reviews
After reading this book I felt a compelling need to fill every moment of my life with new and loving experiences. Whilst reading this book I found I experienced so many different emotions. I smiled and I cried but most of all I felt a warm sense of understanding of a subject which I had previously felt very uncomfortable with.....death.
