About this listen

A step-by-step program for getting your life in order, so you’re prepared for the unexpected.

The odds of getting hit by a bus are 495,000 to 1. But the odds that you’re going to die some day? Exactly.

Even the most disorganized among us can take control of our on- and off-line details so our loved ones won’t have to scramble later. The experts at Everplans, a leading company in digital life planning, make it possible in this essential and easy-to-follow book. Breaking the task down into three levels, from the most urgent (like granting access to passwords), to the technical (creating a manual for the systems in your home), to the nostalgic (assembling a living memory), this clear, step-by-step program not only removes the anxiety and stress from getting your life in order, it’s actually liberating. And deeply satisfying, knowing that you’re leaving the best parting gift imaginable.

When you finish this book, you will have:

  • A system for managing all your passwords and secret codes
  • Organized your money and assets, bills and debts
  • A complete understanding of all the medical directives and legal documents you need—including wills, powers of attorney, and trusts
  • A plan for meaningful photos, recipes, and family heirlooms
  • Records of your personal history, interests, beliefs, and life lessons
  • An instruction manual for your home and vehicles
  • Your funeral planned and obituary written (if you’re up for it)

Keeps you interested

The narration and narrator's voice and tone were perfect!!!! A lot of information to cover with zero condescending. The narrator takes you under her wing and goes step-by-step with you.

Loved it

Very liberating! I’m 39 years old and healthy but I love the idea of making it easy for my loved ones when I die. Recommended to everyone!

Good reinforcement of something you should already know

Well, this material is by subject matter not “exciting“, this book does a good job of organizing processes that everyone needs to be aware of regardless of their age and/or health. I thought the narrator did a great job of keeping the subject matter conversational yet emphatic. While the book discusses the reality of end of life, it does it without sensationalizing the process. In the past 18 months I have attended the funeral of my 101 year-old mother (who had everything organized beautifully for us siblings), as well as a longtime, best friend, two coworkers, and most recently a brother-in-law. I was already starting on some of the stuff covered in this book Listening to this book helped me torganize how I make these preparations. Read this book, or listen to it.
