A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last

In his book, Stephen Levin, the author of the ever-popular bestseller “Who Dies?”, teaches us how to live every moment, every hour, and every day consciously—as if that is all we have left. Standing at the threshold of death, Socrates urged his students to learn to die as the highest possible wisdom. Levin decided to live an entire year in exactly that way, and now he shares with readers how this kind of directness completely changes one’s view of the world and forces you to analyze your own priorities. Most of us, with all our might, ignore, mock, or deny the fact that all of us will die. But preparing for death is one of the wisest and most fruitful actions of our entire life. This exercise gives us the chance to deal with unresolved difficulties and enter into new, exciting relationships with life. To make this work easier, Levin provided readers with a year-long program made up of incredibly practical strategies and powerful guided meditations—so that at the moment of our death, whenever it comes, we won’t feel that death arrived too quickly.
