Precious little practical advice. What there is of it is basically telling you to check other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and amusing book
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2017

This fairly short book clearly lays out what we all need to know to have the death we want. Do you want to die in a hospital hooked up to machines and pumps? Would you rather die at home, in your own bed, surrounded by loved ones?
You really can make plans, thoughtful, achievable plans and this book can help.

5.0 out of 5 stars I will recommend this book to my patients
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017

I will recommend this book to my patients, my family members, and my friends at least until I finish writing my book on this subject. It is clear, coherent, complete and well written. I resonate with the author's sense of humor.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to provocative title

Disappointed. Found the ending to be a cop out when Abraham refers you to Derek Humphries book- Final Exit.

5.0 out of 5 stars A personal, human and ethical self-help book on one of today’s most misunderstood facts of life.
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
For a culture that sidesteps the very idea of dying, this book helps put the natural reality firmly on solid ground. Jon Abraham tells it straight, in language that even the most up-tight worrier about death can appreciate. With longer lifespans, medical advances and an industry that whisks away the infirm elderly, it’s easier than ever to ignore the quality of life that just precedes death. Yes, most people die in hospitals (or in nursing homes.) Is this a good way to die? How can it be done differently, and more humanely? It’s about our attitude and consciousness. Reading this can help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Essential Advice
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2017

I think this book is essential reading for all of us, no matter how you feel about dying, as it should be a choice one makes for oneself. It's not a long book and the writing style is easy. I've already given copies to friends and, of course, my relatives.
