Description
Deemed "a funny, touching mediation on death" by the Sunday Times, this warm and wise book offers lessons for all of us in how to approach life--from someone in the process of dying.

In his mid-40s, aid worker Simon Boas was diagnosed with incurable cancer--it had been caught too late, and spread throughout his body. But he was determined to die as he had learned to live--optimistically, thinking the best of people, and prioritizing what really matters in life.

The advice isn't quite "Don't buy any green bananas"--but it's close to "Don't start any long books."

This remarkable book, a runaway bestseller in the UK, is not just a meditation on dying, but also a hymn to the joy and preciousness of life. A Beginner's Guide to Dying is destined to become a modern classic.

A Beginner's Guide to Dying is the result.
