En savoir plus sur le livre

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D., has profoundly changed perceptions of death and dying. With her classic study, On Death and Dying, and her work with terminally ill patients, she has provided comfort and understanding to millions facing their mortality. Now, at seventy-one and confronting her own death, she shares her life story and her belief that death does not exist. Her memoir, written with warmth and honesty, reflects her intellectual and spiritual journey. Kübler-Ross embraces her individuality, stating, "If I am opinionated and independent... so what? That is me." Her conviction, which challenged dogma and skepticism, began in her youth in Switzerland, where she vowed to address the world's injustices. Her experiences, from aiding in war-torn Poland to counseling the terminally ill and leading seminars at the University of Chicago, contributed to her understanding of life and death. In a society that often avoids the topic of death, she courageously brought it to the forefront, encouraging acceptance rather than fear. Driven by compassion and resilience, Kübler-Ross illustrates that free will is our greatest gift and that our purpose lies in spiritual evolution.
