Not the Last Goodbye

The doctor-author of The New York Times bestseller Anticancer tells the story of his own relapse as he reflects on life and death

In this book, Servan-Schreiber raises many of the most complex and personal questions about how we live and how we prepare for death. Powerful, honest, and inspiring, he continually surprises with his thoughts on what's important in life and the meaning of death.

"In this book, David Servan-Schreiber shares with us his many selves - the intimate and the public, the confident and fearful, the joyous and the pained. Each side of David has a story to tell, and a goodbye to offer that is both beautiful and profound. Together, they provide a glimpse of the choreography of spirit that lived within this gifted pioneer."
- Jonathan D. Cohen, Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology and Co-Director of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute

"A book without pathos. Serene and arresting. Dense and upsetting. Each word rings true, each memory lingers, each detail of his life, now in limbo, brings us closer to the human condition. This book is a gift. He doesn't say what he knows, he shares what he feels. [David Servan-Schreiber] is made of steel; he has guts, humility, and lots of love."

"A book of dignity, sincerity, and breathtaking beauty. In this often joyous account, David Servan-Schreiber helps us look at death and prepare ourselves to die well. It's a very powerful read that inspires deep appreciation."
