A life-changing experience!

September 21, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The book “Who Dies?“ offers me a life-changing experience, the most important book I have ever read. I wish I had discovered it twenty or thirty years ago. But again, better late than never. This book makes me confront with the reality that our bodies are fragile and short-lived, and forces me to face life and death head on with a sense of urgency. Like a lost child trying to find a way home, this book provides me insight to hopefully someday, find my true self to the eternal home. As the author put it, “When reading this book, listen to it with your heart. Let it be a mirror of your own great nature. Understanding is the ultimate seduction of the mind. Go to the truth beyond the mind. Love is the bridge.” I can almost hear someone whispering in my ear while reading it. Beautifully written, packed with profound ideas and subtle meanings. Some passages are quite subtle and deep that I have to read it and re-read it several times, and still not quite sure if I fully understand the true meaning of them.

My wife was in an ICU for two weeks before she passed away and I clung to this book and read it over and over. A book that is about so much more than dying. Levine shows that to truly understand dying you must understand living, and so few of us really do. You can't separate out death as an event isolated from how you live. No preaching in this book, just an honest investigation into many vital aspects of living and dying. Highly recommend this book to anyone asking the big questions and/or dealing with death.

Are you ready to fully engage with reality?

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An extremely worthwhile read. I felt like I was awake and aware of everything in a way I have not be for a very long time. It is bringing me home to myself and opening windows in the walls I have built over the last few years. Its not an entertainment. Its an awakening

Stephen Levine's books are "go-to" reading in my life and especially Who Dies? I have owned this book for decades, have recommended it to others and recently bought a copy for my Kindle. It is comfort reading for me when I am experiencing, anticipating, or grieving the loss of a loved one. Stephen Levine's wisdom and compassion currently help me to stay present as I sit beside my mom, who has experienced a significant stroke. His words guide me as to ways I might "help" a loved one pass and at the same time prepare for my own passage whenever that may be. I am one who throughout my life has been motivated to contemplate and study death. In my contemplation and readings I have come to believe that preparing for a conscious death is an important and worthy goal. Stephen Levine is a fine teacher.

This is an advanced book on the concept of death!

September 11, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Easy to read, but frank it's discussion as to why often overlook the need to come to terms with death; to prepare for it. Before we get to the gate! We often block this effort with the phrases, "it's a morbid", or "I've got my religion". What we often do not know, is that we really don't know anything for certain, and this can make death terrifying, even for those who are buoyed by religion. Steven Levin's point seems to be that life gets better when we make peace with death ahead of time. By learning to embrace and accept the unknown as it is, we change our attitude. Who knows, maybe we can join other cultures in making death a natural part of life, instead of hiding and denying it for as long as possible, like we do in the West. Life takes on a clarity and joy gets deeper when we know that we must make the most of our lives. Written in small, topicalized, chapters, it makes a great reference guide as well. It has a Buddhist/Zen flavor, but is still applicable to all, and very down to earth. Five stars for sure!

Very helpful for someone with life-threatening illness or who loves someone who is dying

December 20, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Although this book is written from a Buddhist philosophic view of death and dying, it can be helpful to anyone. I found it very helpful when my mother was dying from dementia and again when I had a 4 month illness that they claimed was a virus, but I felt like I might be dying myself. Comes from a very compassionate and loving place toward those who are dying and their relatives. Talks about ways to help those in coma or who are near death. Stephen Levine worked as a hospice chaplain for many years.

Terribly repetitive...I finally had to give in and stop reading it which I rarely do.
