Dying Was the Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me

This collection of stories Dying Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me by Dr William E. Hablitzel is quite inspirational. Dr Hablitzel tells about some of the patients he's had over the years and the lessons he's learned from them. It is an uplifting book, with some sadness but not as lugubrious as the title suggests. The person to whom the title relates was a "go-getter" who did too much, until he dropped dead with a heart attack. He was clinically dead for 10 mins and fully recovered to reassess his life's goals. This is a lovely book. 4/5
