"A reader-friendly guide to the conversations most people avoid having...A vade mecum that will make one's reaping a bit less grim."--Kirkus Reviews"Explores just how crucial discussions of death are to living a happy, fulfilling life. It's packed with lessons on how we can approach those conversations purposefully and effectively."--Thrive Global"Hebb aims to make death less taboo in all ways possible. The book ultimately offers practical advice on how to have conversations related to death, no matter the setting, yet manages to be amusing at times. This is a recommended read, to say the least."--The Hype"Michael Hebb shows us how given the right framing, a 'difficult' conversation does not need to be difficult. It can be liberating. It can even be transformative. A book about death that is expansive and filled with hope, makes us more courageous, connected and honest, well, that is irresistible."--Esther Perel, New York Times bestselling author of Mating in Captivity and The State of Affairs"Wise, poignant, compelling--Hebb tackles hard issues with honesty and good taste. This book is food for the soul."--Ira Byock, MD, author of Dying Well and The Best Care Possible
