A beginner's guide to the end : practical advice for living life and facing death / BJ Miller, MD and Shoshana Berger.

London : Quercus, 2019.

xix, 428 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 25 cm

Includes bibliographical references.

The end of a life can often feel like a traumatic, chaotic and inhuman experience. In this reassuring and inspiring book, palliative care physician Dr BJ Miller and writer Shoshana Berger provide a vision for rethinking and navigating this universal process. There are plenty of self-help books for mourners, but nothing in the way of a modern, approachable and above all useful field guide for the living. And all of us - young, old, sick and well - could use the help. After all, pregnant couples have ample resources available to them as they prepare to bring a new life into the world: Lamaze courses, elaborate birth plans, tons of manuals. Why don't we have a 'What to Expect When You're Expecting to Die' book? An accessible, beautifully designed and illustrated companion, 'How to Die' offers a clear-eyed and compassionate survey of the most pressing issues that come up when one is dying.
