About the Book
WHAT WORD COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH? The truth is, everyone has a single word in mind when he or she thinks about the "Great Equalizer," regardless of his or her spiritual bent, social position or moral viewpoint. Dying is like being at the airport waiting for your flight - and when the moment is right, you should peacefully and confidently catch your plane. No muss, no fuss, no fear, no regrets, but pure bliss!. This book airs unconventional yet reassuring guidance on what is widely viewed as one of the most momentous questions for mortal humans: How to cope with death? In a rational, unbiased and nonreligious way, the book offers a clear picture of decease, providing a supportive voice to millions of mourners and terminally ill people who adopt myriad approaches to grapple with the question of death, the process of dying, and the ancillary phenomena that revolve around mortality (survival, guilt, grief, loss, etc.) The book contains a helpful Discussion Guide and sample information on sequel PoP!!! The Power of Positive - How to Completely Change Your Life in 7 Days. Through thought-provoking questions, the book gives extensive advice on how to use the discussion guide, how to inform decisions related to the topics at hand, and how to best read it - alone, in reading groups, with your partner, or as part of learning activities, among others.

About the Author: I wish to remain anonymous because the ideas I convey in my books are far more momentous than my humble person. Consider me nonexistent - a myth, a modicum of human folklore, a thinking iota in our collective wisdom. Just delve into my books, learn a thing or two...and, if you like the content, try to improve your life (and others' lives). I don't aim to be a personal-growth guru, a healer, a celebrated self-help pundit, an attention-hungry author. In our publicity-obsessed culture, we don't need another such figure. I see life through the lens of passion and compassion; promise and compromise; happiness; and unwearied altruism, the kind you project when you stare at a newborn and know right away that only you can help him or her fulfill the untapped, God-given potential each of us has. We have that inner passion - so why not use it, enhance it, modify it, channel it while we are here on Earth? As an author, philosopher and life coach, I write books that inspire, motivate and teach you how to reconnect with your inner energy and ignite your outer potential. In an earlier life, I learned the ropes of financial management, organizational effectiveness, strategy, marketing and investment banking, first earning an MBA in Finance at Rutgers University and then working in various roles in the financial-services industry in New York and New Jersey. These positions ultimately enabled me to see how infinite goodness manifests itself in humans, producing pure bliss in unexpected moments and places - and how, unfortunately, sometimes our worst angels lead us to blaze unfortunate and troublesome paths for ourselves and others. These days, I wake up each morning to the sweet, hopeful music of life, and sleep to the adorable, buoyant melody of tomorrow - living one day at the time, enjoying simple moments, appreciating the chance to exist, and feeling grateful for the serendipity of human love.
