Publisher's summary

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD, transformed the way the world thinks about death and dying. Beginning with the groundbreaking publication of the classic psychological study On Death and Dying and continuing through her many books and her years working with terminally ill children, AIDS patients, and the elderly, Kübler-Ross brought comfort and understanding to millions coping with their own deaths or the deaths of loved ones. In The Wheel of Life, when Kübler-Ross was 71 years old and facing her own death, this world-renowned healer told the story of her extraordinary life. Having taught the world how to die well, she offered a lesson on how to live well. The Wheel of Life is an adventure of the heart - powerful, controversial, inspirational - a fitting legacy of a powerful life.

Living and aging

The narration was lovely. I read Death and Dying by Ross, when I was very young. Now I'm 56 and my mother is 97. It seemed a good idea to listen to the expert as mother and I age. Many of life's big delimas have simple answers. I enjoyed this book and recommend it.

Essential knowledge for any physician

Just like any other subject to physician's education, it is a basic tool for the medical practice in order to deliver a integral, more effective therapy.

Up close and personal view of the author!

Gripping story of Ms. Kubler-Ross' life. "Our purpose in life is to be love to others. We must heal.ourselves first to be able to.love others fully. There is nothing to be afraid of ..dying is leaving one existence and moving onto another."
