Life Lessons (Book Review)
Annie Thermidor
Life Lessons from Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and David
Kessler.
Main theme:
In this book, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross teamed up with
end-of-life specialist David Kessler to write for the
first time about life and living. The authors present
fourteen lessons passed on to us from the dying to
help us deal better with the issues we face in life.
Both authors consider the dying as great teachers
because, “it’s when we are pushed to the edge of life
that we see life more clearly” (Kessler & Kubler-Ross,
2000, p15).
Rather than writing in one unitary voice, the two
authors speak separately on personal experiences and
case histories, with each writer’s portion of text
starting with their initials. Each lesson is comprised
within fourteen chapters, starting from authenticity
and ending with happiness. The authors also go into
detail about the lessons of guilt, fear, loss, anger,
power, surrender, forgiveness, love, relationships,
patience, time and play.......
