FINAL SALE, NO EXCHANGE, NO RETURNS
An excellent reason to seek a new outlook on life
There are many lessons about the art of winning, but what about the art of losing? No one wants to talk about it, but the truth is that we spend a lot of our lives in great suffering when we lose possessions, people, realities, dreams. Knowing how to lose is the art of those who were able to fully live what they once won.
In 2012, Ana Claudia Quintana Arantes gave a TED talk that quickly went viral, reaching over 1.7 million views. The last line in the video, “Death is a day worth living,” became the title of the book that has been gaining an ever-growing audience since its release in 2016.
One of the greatest references on Palliative Care in Brazil, the author approaches the theme of finitude from a surprising angle. According to her, what should scare us is not death itself, but the possibility of reaching the end of our lives without enjoying it, of not using our time the way we would like.
By reversing the perspective of common sense, we are led to rethink our own existence and to offer the people around us the opportunity to live well until the day we leave. Instead of fear and anguish, we must accept our essence so that the end is just the natural end of a journey.
In Death is a Day Worth Living, Ana Claudia has the courage to deal with a subject that is still taboo. Throughout her professional life, the doctor has faced difficulties in being understood, in convincing people that patients deserve attention even when there is no chance of a cure. After all the struggle, Palliative Care now has the status of public policy, receiving from the State the attention she always dreamed of.
Completely revised and expanded, this edition is a beautiful ode to life and humanity.
