The title is very worn out! How many books have a title like "A beginner's guide to"? "There is no exact total count, but thousands of books use titles like "A beginner's guide to" across libraries, online retailers, and databases worldwide." (Google Search)
Is there such a thing as a beginner of dying? Most people die late in life of natural causes and have e.g. witnessed other people dying before them. Do not many of these people ponder about their life lived and remaining years long before they die?
The author "Simon Charles Boas was a British aid worker who worked for development charities and the United Nations. His writings about his terminal illness diagnosis—widely described as inspirational—were featured in British national newspapers and on BBC Radio 4's Today programme." (Google Summary of Wikipedia entry)
"“In a crowded genre, Simon Boas offers a clear-eyed, pragmatic, searingly honest, and deeply moving perspective on mortality that ultimately becomes a guide to living well. Also, when was the last time a book title made you smile?”
