Many years of working with the dying showed the authors that certain lessons come up over and over again. Some of these lessons are enormously difficult to master but even the attempts to understand them can be deeply rewarding. Here, in 14 accessible chapters, from the "Lesson of Love" to the "Lesson of Happiness", the authors reveal the truth about our fears, our hopes, our relationships, and above all, about the grandness of who we really are.

Histoire
Most of us have at some point in our lives felt like an outsider, sometimes considering ourselves "too weird" to fit in. Growing up as a Russian immigrant in West Texas, Olga Khazan always felt there was something different about her. This feeling has permeated her life, and as she embarked on a science writing career, she realized there were psychological connections between this feeling of being an outsider and both her struggles and successes later in life.

Histoire
Dr. Jean Marmoreo spent her career keeping people alive. But when the Supreme Court of Canada gave the green light to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in 2016, she became one of a small group of doctors who chose to immediately train themselves in this new field. The Last Doctor recounts Marmoreo's crash course in MAiD and introduces a range of different and memorable patients, some aged, some suffering from degenerative conditions or with a terminal disease, some surrounded by supportive love, some quite alone, who ask her help to end their suffering with dignity and on their own terms.

Histoire
The Incredible Hulk was originally supposed to be grey, but a printing glitch led to the superhero’s iconic green colour. NHL hall-of-famer Serge Savard’s hockey career nearly ended prematurely, not because of an injury, but because of an oversight. And the invention of a beloved treat, the Popsicle, began with a simple mistake. In his fascinating and meticulously researched new book, Terry O’Reilly recounts how some of the biggest breakthroughs and best-loved products originated with a mistake.

From ADHD and dyslexia to autism, the number of diagnosis categories listed by the American Psychiatric Association has tripled in the last fifty years. With so many affected, it is time to revisit our perceptions of people with disabilities. Psychologist and educator Thomas Armstrong illuminates a new understanding of neuropsychological disorders. He argues that if they are a part of the natural diversity of the human brain, they cannot simply be defined as illnesses. Armstrong explores the evolutionary advantages, special skills, and other positive dimensions of these conditions.

Description
"With Radical Acts of Love, Janie Brown demonstrates the power of a book to transform, in fact to turn things upside down. She turns death into life, despair into hope, sorrow into joy, and pain into love with these twenty astonishing encounters with the dying. We all know somewhere in the back of our minds that a deeper understanding and acceptance of death is supposed to release us into an even fiercer embrace of life - this wonderful book made me, for the first time, truly feel and believe it." (Stephen Fry)
In this profound and moving book, oncology nurse Janie Brown recounts 20 conversations she has had with the dying, including people close to her. Each conversation uncovers a different perspective on, and experience of death, while at the same time exploring its universalities. Offering extremely sensitive and wise insight into our final moments, Brown shows practical ways to facilitate the shift from feeling helpless about death to feeling hopeful; from fear to acceptance; from feeling disconnected and alone, to becoming part of the wider, collective story of our mortality.
As Janie Brown writes, "Most people now under sixty have never seen a person die, and so have become deeply fearful about death, their own and the deaths of their beloved others. They have had no role models to show them how to care for a dying person, and therefore no confidence in being able to do so. My hope is that the baby boomer cohort who pushed for the return of the midwives to de-medicalize birth will also be instrumental in reclaiming the death process. This book is my contribution to the re-empowerment of all of us to take charge of our lives and our deaths, remembering that we know how to die, just as we knew how to come into this world. We also know how to heal, and to settle our lives as best we can, before we die. In my view, this is the greatest gift we could give our loved ones: to be prepared and open and accepting when the time comes for us to leave this world."
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Janie Brown's extraordinary empathy and intuition coupled with her decades of clinical experience set her book apart from others on the subject of how to help the dying and their loved ones. She is the guide we all hope will be there at the end. Radical Acts of Love does holy work." (Barbara Gowdy, author of The White Bone and Little Sister)
"The most surprising and beautiful travel guide to a journey we will all have to make. Janie Brown has accompanied many great souls through their final days on earth, and what she has learned she offers us now in this exquisite book about life." (Chris Cleave, author of Little Bee and Everyone Brave Is Forgiven)
"In the hands of a less talented writer, Radical Acts of Love would read like case studies instead of the beautiful and necessary stories they are. This book is a must-read. We have rituals for afterwards: funerals and celebrations of life, but little to help guide those facing death. Janie Brown's insights, distilled from decades of looking after cancer patients, are both sensitive and practical as well as profoundly compassionate. Tending to the heart and spirit of the terminally ill is as important as making the right medical decisions - decisions that become easier once patients have made peace with themselves and loved ones." (Janie Chang, author of Dragon Springs Road)

How to have scary conversations about cancer
By recounting stories and conversations, Janie gives us words we can use for difficult conversations about cancer, pain and end of life. The person living with cancer, the spouse and friend, the counsellor’s inner thoughts - we are all included in this book. I was so moved. It really matters that it is read by the author. There is much more than words here.

Amazing listen
I absolutely loved this book. The stories were expertly weaved by the author. I found it very helpful, as recently found out a close friend was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I feel that I have the capacity, and a few more tools, resources and hope to offer now.
Being a nurse like the author, we see so much death and sadness in our line of work. I will listen again, and probably again to this wonderful book. The author, who also narrates the book, gave a wonderful performance.

Heartwarming. A Must-Read for All.
I can't say enough about this book! It's a stunning collection of stories that are each an expression of the love and humanity in all of us. Each story shows how life can be beautiful and messy all at the same time, and how this is often the hallmark of our most human and treasured moments. If you fear the emotional load from reading about "end of life," I found the audiobook the most intimate and comforting format. For my dear friend who read this book in the weeks before losing a parent, it was a healing balm. For me, with broader curiosity and interest, it was instantly captivating. I searched for quiet moments to hear the author reading to me again. Sometimes the stories brought tears, sometimes laughter, sometimes both. But overall, they evoked more beauty in my heart than sadness, and a new calmness about living life with those I love.

Truly beautiful.
Janie's stories are filled with heartfelt wisdom and compassion. An invaluable read for all of us to reflect on the gift of our own life and dying process. She also highlights the beauty of those who bless us wth love in their support and care giving, and hold us in their hearts as they grieve and mourn after we are gone. Thank you for all you do in service to others at such a tender and sacred time.

I love this book
I think listening to the audiobook makes this an even better experience but I will also get the hardcover just to hold and savour it. Janie Brown's heart and soul show in this book and her sensitivity to everyone she writes about is breathtaking. You can feel her love. She is so giving yet still has love for the next person she encounters. She makes the reader aware that death is natural and can be beautiful. As a cancer patient listening to this book has lessened my fear of death. I hope she continues to write.
