a wonderful book
"Life Lesson" which was written by Elisabeth Kubler and David Kessler is a great book with many valuable lessons of life such as the lesson of love, the lesson of loss, the lesson of relationships and so on. Even though this book has many sad stories, they are the authors' experience about death and dying. This book is the right key to open the pains in our heart and helps us have a meaningful life. Many lessons about life and living should be learned, so I highly recommend this book to people who one to get a richer life. The reason why I would recommend this book is because there are a lot of lessons that are very useful to each and every one of us. Moreover, there are many great stories that you would love them. For example, there is a very sad story that really tough my heart and figure out the meaning of love that I had never thought about.The story was about a mother of a little girl who died in an accident. Despite being grief stricken, she appreaciated the fact that the policeman held her daughter close out of caring, giving his warmth of human love in her last moments. This story teaches us a valuable lesson of love that people always need to be loved until the moment they die. The book also teaches us how to enjoy our life and how to love ourselves. For instant, in the lesson of relationships the author reminds us to open our heart to love people around us. The more love we give, the closer we have with all the people we love. In this country, everybody has to work and work. We are too busy so that we seem to forget ourselves. The author recommends us to enjoy the life to make our own life much better.

Life Lessons???
This book should be renamed: "Hot Cocoa For the Mortal Soul", as the authors provide the reader with a "feel good" guide to dying. The vignettes are varied and easy to follow. The book is easy to read, as well and both authors share their own intimate thoughts and feelings reagarding dying. Nonetheless they push an "easy believism"-that our fears and difficulties with death and dying are more imaginitive then real. This book denies that dealing with death is really troublesome and should serve those who believe in fairy tales and never never land. Similar Products
