      V této knize, která pojednává výhradně o životě a jeho prožívání, spojila Elisabeth Kübler Rossová síly s Davidem Kesslerem – společně nás provázejí řadou praktických i duchovních „životních lekcí“, které musíme zvládnout, abychom dokázali naplno a beze zbytku prožívat každý okamžik svého života. Za léta své práce s umírajícími autoři zjistili, že určité lekce a zkoušky se v lidských životech opakují stále znovu. Často bývá velmi obtížné úspěšně jimi projít – ale dokonce i jen snaha o to, abychom jim porozuměli, pro nás může být velkým přínosem a obohacením. Autoři této knihy ve čtrnácti srozumitelných kapitolách odhalují pravdu o našich obavách, nadějích, vztazích, ale především o velikosti a vznešenosti naší existence.

      Exploring the profound experiences surrounding death, Kessler delves into three shared phenomena: "visions" of the afterlife, the concept of preparing for a "trip" as a transition rather than an end, and the presence of "crowded rooms," where the dying perceive loved ones awaiting them. These insights reveal that death can be a time of connection and fullness, challenging the notion of loss for the living. Through poignant bedside stories, the book aims to educate and comfort readers about the mysteries of the final days.
