Summary

The world-famous bestseller that brought new insight, hope and understanding to millions now available on CD! Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross created her classic seminal work, On Death and Dying, to offer us a new perspective on the terminally ill. It is not a psychoanalytic study, nor is it a "how-to" manual for managing death. Rather, it refocuses on the patient as a human being and a teacher, in the hope that we will learn from him or her about the final stages of life. On Death and Dying examines the attitudes of the dying and the factors that contribute to society's anxiety over death. It closely looks at the five stages of death-denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance-and how the dying and living deal with them. In addition, this program offers multi-voice readings of some of the most revealing interviews Dr. Kübler-Ross conducted with her patients. By hearing some of the most intimate and sensitive feelings expressed by those men and women, it is hoped that we may learn more about death and lessen our own anxieties about the natural course of our lives. At its heart, On Death and Dying is a truly remarkable program about communication-offering insight on how to talk with and listen to the terminally ill, and truly hear their fears, hopes, angers, and anxieties.

    Having recently experienced the loss of a close friend and being present at their bedside, I had high expectations for this audiobook. I had read it 35 years ago when it was mandatory in college, so I was hoping to gain some new wisdom from it. Unfortunately, I found that the words were no longer helpful and felt outdated. Moreover, I was disappointed with the three narrators as they seemed a bit insincere. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to finding solace in this particular version.

    I've always been curious about why this book had such a great reputation. So, I decided to give it a read and see for myself what makes it so special. It's remarkable in many ways, providing a sense of tranquility while also being incredibly captivating. It's the kind of literature that carries deep significance and resonates with readers.

    Many people are talking about how our society tends to ignore dying, death, and elderhood, pushing them aside so that we don't have to confront or acknowledge them. Instead of treating the ill patient as a person, they are often seen as objects. In a world where knowledge and technology are rapidly advancing, we are losing the personal touch in many aspects of our lives. It's interesting to consider how doctors, in certain positions, could benefit from mandatory psychotherapeutic training. The book also delves into thought-provoking discussions about the future of medicine and humanity.

    As I was attempting to keep up with the book while listening, I couldn't help but notice that a significant portion of the dialogue has been omitted, along with an entire chapter. It would be much appreciated if the audiobook included everything that is present in the actual book.

    This audiobook had a vibe of a poorly executed radio drama. I attempted to read along with my own copy of the book, but the narrator jumped around, needlessly changed sentence structure, and gave the impression of being disengaged. The interviews were abysmal, with the readers seeming to lack comprehension of the material. Overall, it was a dreadful experience.

    I recently lost my 28-year-old daughter and the pain I'm feeling is overwhelming. However, listening to the experiences of others who have gone through similar struggles brought me some comfort. It was both eye-opening and uplifting.
