About this audiobook
Is this really how I want to live my life? Each one of us at some point asks this question. The tragedy is not that life is short, but that we often see only in hindsight what really matters.
In her first book on life and living, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross joined with David Kessler to guide us through the practical and spiritual lessons we need to learn so that we can live life to its fullest in every moment. Many years of working with the dying have shown the authors that certain lessons come up over and over again. Some of these lessons are enormously difficult to master, but even the attempts to understand them can be deeply rewarding. Here, in fourteen accessible chapters, from the Lesson of Love to the Lesson of Happiness, the authors reveal the truth about our fears, our hopes, our relationships, and, above all, about the grandness of who we really are.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD, (1926–2004) was a Swiss-born psychiatrist, humanitarian, and co-founder of the hospice movement around the world. She was also the author of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying, which first discussed the five stages of grief. Elisabeth authored twenty-four books in thirty-six languages and brought comfort to millions of people coping with their own deaths or the death of a loved one. Her greatest professional legacy includes teaching the practice of humane care for the dying and the importance of sharing unconditional love. Her work continues by the efforts of hundreds of organizations around the world, including The Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fresh new ideas. We lost our daughter a year ago. She was 30 years old. Our grief is a challenge each day. We loved her and miss her. This book helped me understand how to deal with these feelings.
Well written and beautifully narrated.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is basically the teachings of Islam so its message isn’t new to me
I didn’t expect that
It’s a good book though - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very important audio to listen to because it's life itself that speaaks to us.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So much valuable information for personal growth and things we tend to forget we to busy trying to make it instead of living life, help me accept so much re look at things . Also we carry so much baggage and it’s draining…. that why I need to hear it again to take notes , now ordered the book :)
