Most of us are not drawn to reading about end-of-life decisions, an ancient topic but ever timely. Dr. Eastwoods book helps us down that troubling but unavoidable road. His book is eminently readable, full of medical and psychological insights, and just plain interesting. * Daniel Callahan, President Emeritus, The Hastings Center *

If you expect to be hit by a bus, this book isn't for you. But you're much, much more likely to die of a disease with a long downhill course, such as heart disease, cancer, or a neurological condition, and so this book really is for you. Gregory Eastwood shows us how we can hope to create our final chapters, not merely slide into them through ignorance or a sense of loss of control, but with the resources of modern medicine. Being able to do this is a gift. * Margaret P.
