Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an e-ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. THIS. This book is just what we need right now. It's positive, but not syrupy sweet. You learn to rethink what's important to you. (Hint: It's not things.) We all need to be reading more, but putting positivity into our minds. This is the book you need.

This book completely threw me (in a good way) and felt like it has come to me as a message. It’s basically about how you see your life’s worth and not about possessions or what you do as a job. It couldn’t have come at a better time for me as I feel like I’m having a midlife pickle. It makes you think about what’s important and helps you have perspective on life. Great read, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This was a short read, but one that really made me sit and think about how I want to be remembered. Since the author is a mortician, that message really resonated with me as a reader. The author's own experiences and insight were helpful in getting across the message that we should be living each day as we want to be remembered when we pass. I found the openness of the author's writing about his father's funeral inspiring. The honesty that the author evokes in their writing really makes the reader want to leave a memorable legacy.

This short book packs a lot of punch! While the presentation is a little cheesy at times, the message is solid. The author asks the reader " how do you want to be remembered?" then encourages them to live that way every day. The author's experience as a mortician and funeral director gives his opinions validity. His tone is casual and positive throughout the book. By sharing his own personal experiences, he becomes vulnerable and invites the reader to do the same, to dig into how they want to be remembered compared to how they are living every day.

The only "problem" I had was that the author had his own personal awakening during a yoga retreat to the Bahamas, and he doesn't address how that opportunity may not be available to the average reader. It would have been nice to have examples on how to do the same on a smaller scale. Also, I wish he had included writing exercises based on the questions he asked throughout the book. It would have made it easier for me to ponder the questions and explore my feelings about the subjects of death and legacy.

Overall this is an inspiring book that will be useful to many readers!
