This book has the potential to change your life'\n'Stunning'\nIt isn't quite 'Don't buy any green bananas'. But it's close to 'Don't start any long books'.\nIn his mid-40s, Simon Boas was diagnosed with incurable cancer – it had been caught too late, and spread around his body. But he was determined to die as he had learned to live – optimistically, thinking the best of people, and prioritising what really matters in life.\nIn A Beginner’s Guide to Dying Simon considers and collates the things that have given him such a great sense of peace and contentment, and why dying at 46 really isn’t so bad. And for that reason it’s also only partly about ‘dying’. It is mostly a hymn to the joy and preciousness of life, and why giving death a place can help all of us make even more of it.","brand":"Swift Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50592798507296,"sku":"9781800755215","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781800755215.jpg?v=1780846234","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-beginners-guide-to-dying-simon-boas-9781800755215","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
