The reader is thus guided through practical and spiritual lessons that are needed to live life in the best possible manner. The authors reveal the very truth about all our inner feelings in a deeply rewarding manner. The book takes us through many lessons in life that are only learnt when people are in their death bed. These are certain things, which even if we try, is never easy to understand. This book simplifies that and makes us understand every aspect of a happy life and why not to be depressed. That is why many individuals who suffer from mental depression have resorted to this book for a feeling of calmness rather than resort to counseling. People who stop looking for happiness do not want to wait for the appropriate time that is perhaps yet to come. They find their peace in today. Happiness has been described as a reaction to something that might have happened and it is a state of mind. The feeling of happiness should not be trained but should be natural and that is why individuals feel so deeply about the loss and pain. Such feelings of victimizations are not desirable as life includes loss as well as recovery, happiness and sadness. Happy people are found to be in a state of forgiveness always and have more to offer. The author asks the readers to think about those times which bring in more happiness and practice that along with kindness (Kubler-Ross and Kessler, 2001). Fear holds the mind captive, and when it is released it can harm others. Fear dominates within every individual. To overcome it and go forward with the endeavor is the real challenge. A very beautiful example discussed here talks about a boy who had cancer, wanted to ride around his block, but with the help of his father he finally did just days before he died. This way he had lived his final dreams. The author makes a point that everybody has dreams but they also have more reasons or excuses not to fulfill them, which should not be (Kubler-Ross and Kessler, 2001). Relations demand a lot from individuals, and problems arise when a person is dependent too much on it. Completeness does not come from the other. An unhappy single person will make an unhappy spouse. However the authors point out that before ending any relationship the person must think about the problem and where it lied. Love has been described as the only lasting thing in life and what people can give to others, but it comes with many conditions. The authors point out that loving someone is possible only when one appreciates oneself, and that comes from things people enjoy doing and they start doing. Something very important in life is patience and the authors appropriately point that many individuals nowadays lack that. Accepting situations have become harder because of such haste. This calls for the practice of faith and patience. Power is not defined by the position in society. it actually comes from living each day with discipline and love, being honest, and having patience. Too much concern about other opinions takes the power away. The power to make others doesn’t lie with the person, what is there is the power to make their own selves happy. A beautiful example here is where the authors speak of a woman and her little daughter getting saved by inches and she realizes the importance of what she had in life (Kubler-Ross and Kessler, 2001). Chances are what one must give the other and that is forgiveness, it is about letting the pain go.
