Reviews
"There are many times in my personal life and my medical education when I could have used this book. In their clear and compelling guide, Miller and Berger help us understand how to approach one of the most important but least understood phases of our life. Their honest reflections and sharp insights will change lives for the better." -- Vivek Murthy, MD, former Surgeon General of the United States, " A Beginner's Guide to the End is honest, funny, luminous, and essential. Full of real-world advice and hard-won insight, it's a practical guide to dying that is actually much more about living." -- Lucy Kalanithi, author of the epilogue to When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, "When it comes to the final journey, we are all beginners. Navigating the complexities of serious illness requires grace and grit. With elegant simplicity and tender, earthy honesty, this beginner's guide explains how to prepare, what possible routes you might take, mis-turns to avoid, and the beauty you might see along the way." -- Ira Byock, MD, Founder & Chief Medical Director, Institute for Human Caring, "I wish I'd had this book when I needed it. Death and dying are not subjects that many people are comfortable talking about, but it's hugely important to be as prepared as you can be--emotionally, physically, practically, financially, and spiritually. This book may be the most important guide you could have." -- Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love, "The combined wisdom of a legendary hospice physician together with a journalist and experienced caregiver makes this book feel like a loving friend who is by our side with practical advice on the medical, legal, logistical, and emotional aspects of an event that awaits us all. This is a book that every family should have, the equivalent of Dr. Spock but for this other phase of life." -- Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone, "Miller and Berger, through their honesty and deep experience, help us to live the best life possible with a serious illness. This is a beautiful, poignant, expert, and human handbook for all of us." -- Susan Block, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine, Harvard Medical School, "If you are sure you would never read a book about how to face death, especially long before you need it, A Beginner's Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death just might convince you it wouldn't be bad to have on the shelf... The book blends practical information with compassionate advice for facing our own death or the death of a loved one." -- Next Avenue, "'You know what would be fun today? Reading a book about death,' said no one ever. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened these pages and found myself smiling on the first one. BJ Miller and Shoshana Berger have done something impressive: they're written a book about dying that's not only moving and practical, but also delightful to read." -- Adam Grant, co-author of Option B and author of Give and Take and Originals

Synopsis
"A gentle, knowledgeable guide to a fate we all share" ( The Washington Post ): the first and only all-encompassing action plan for the end of life. "There is nothing wrong with you for dying," hospice physician B.J. Miller and journalist and caregiver Shoshana Berger write in A Beginner's Guide to the End . "Our ultimate purpose here isn't so much to help you die as it is to free up as much life as possible until you do." Theirs is a clear-eyed and big-hearted action plan for approaching the end of life, written to help readers feel more in control of an experience that so often seems anything but controllable. Their book offers everything from step-by-step instructions for how to do your paperwork and navigate the healthcare system to answers to questions you might be afraid to ask your doctor, like whether or not sex is still okay when you're sick. Get advice for how to break the news to your employer, whether to share old secrets with your family, how to face friends who might not be as empathetic as you'd hoped, and how to talk to your children about your will. (Don't worry: if anyone gets snippy, it'll likely be their spouses, not them.) There are also lessons for survivors, like how to shut down a loved one's social media accounts, clean out the house, and write a great eulogy. An honest, surprising, and detail-oriented guide to the most universal of all experiences, A Beginner's Guide to the End is "a book that every family should have, the equivalent of Dr. Spock but for this other phase of life" ( New York Times bestselling author Dr. Abraham Verghese).
