If you had only one year left to live, what would you do? When Stephen Levine posed this question to himself, it led to a profound, year-long experiment in conscious living that is fully revealed in A Year to Live. Carefully planned as a series of month-by-month practices and meditations, A Year to Live brings the dying process into the full light of awareness. Join this bestselling author and caregiver as he explores: the deathless nature contained within each moment of life; why death is never to be feared; the practice of forgiveness; opening to love; and much more.

I feel like I understand now...the meaning of this lifetime is simply to prepare to die. It begins when it ends.

I have not been with many dying people. The ones that have been with, didn’t go well, they were filled with terror in their eyes and a feeling of annihilation. Seeing that has left me with a deep fear of those last moments, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years.

Levine claims that it is our life that we fear as much as it is our death. That in the lack of grieving our hearts harden and we are cut off from life and we project that what comes after bears that same feeling towards us.

I am surprised I had not heard of Levine sooner.

Packed full of the wisdom that comes from being present with much death.

This a meditation on life. I found it most rewarding to listen while resting. I look forward to listening again as it it rich and I am certain I will more each time.

Essentially, this book reads as a multi-part poem. Depending on your sensibility, this could be a positive or a negative. It's less of a how-to and more of a work of contemplative art. Whether you enjoy Stephen Levine's writing style, the book will for sure get you thinking about how you approach your life, how you define success, and your relationship to the concept of control.
