"This book is an eye-opener, turning our faces in a direction few of us dare to look. Danny Blorian, in his stories of the hospice and his work there, teaches the reader that in the last days of an individual's life, when they are on the verge of death, there exists an opportunity to make a correction and a reconciliation. And, more than that,from what we read here, from the insights gained of what men and women discover when they are at death's door, we could all - the elderly and the young, the healthy and the sick - learn meaningful and unique lessons about our life in the present.

- Professor Amia Lieblich.

Danny Blorian has written a masterpiece filled with wisdom and insights from individuals facing their own imminent death. Through their own introspection about what is and is not important in life, the lessons that they have drawn, and their views about how one might approach both life and death, we learn a most important insight: namely, that the currency of life is time, and how we choose to spend that time defines who we are, and what we make of life. This book is essential reading for those wanting to get the most out of life.
