About how to live a good life, and how to die well.Simon Boas is talkative and generous, tall, with a big smile. He worked as a humanitarian worker, and at the age of 46 he learned that he was suffering from terminal cancer.His articles about the disease went viral and spread all over the world. During the author's lifetime, this book became No. 2 on Amazon, and even the Queen of Great Britain requested a copy.The book reminds us how important it is to enjoy life and set priorities correctly, to separate significant experiences from insignificant ones. It gives you the strength to live the last period of your life without fear of death, but peacefully accepting it. Simon Boas gives 3 reasons why he will die with a calm soul and a smile on his face:1. "First of all, I am comforted by the thought that I have lived a really good—almost perfect—life."2. "The second comforting thought: no one knows if there is a God or an afterlife, but it seems unlikely to me that our existence is just a short and random flash of consciousness between two eternities of nothing."3. "And finally, the thought that I keep coming back to is how lucky we are to live at all. To exist is to win the lottery."
