THE ART OF DYING WELL
Description
ADVANCE PRAISE for THE ART OF DYING WELL "No, you won't survive your death, but you can live until the very last moment without the pain and humiliation that inevitably accompany an overmedicalized dying process. Katy Butler shows how, and I am profoundly grateful to her for doing so." -BARBARA EHRENREICH, author of Natural Causes "The Art of Dying Well is the best guidebook I know of for navigating the later stages of life. Katy Butler's counsel is simple and practical, but the impact of this book is profound. A remarkable feat." -IRA BYOCK, MD, author of Dying Well and active emeritus professor of medicine, the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmout "This is a book to devour, discuss, dog-ear, and then revisit as the years pass. Covering matters medical, practical, financial, and spiritual-and, beautifully, their intersection-Katy Butler gives wise counsel for the final decades of our 'wild and precious' lives. A crucial addition to the bookshelves of those seeking agency, comfort, and meaning. The Art of Dying Well is not only about dying. It's about living intentionally and in community." -LUCY KALANITHI, MD, FACP, clinical assistant professor of medicine, Stanford School of Medicine, and widow of Paul Kalanithi, author of When Breath Becomes Air
