"Stephen Levine has captured the spectrum of emotions and problems which emerge around the dying process in a very clear manner, and one that has practical application for everyone. This is a book on life, a book that integrates death into the context of life. This is certainly one of the most important books that I have read." -- Dr. Carl Simonton, Medical Director, Cancer Counseling and Research Center, and author of Getting Well Again With consummate shill, Stephen invites us into the intimacy and subtlety of living one's dying. Through others' resistances we meet our own; through others' breakthroughs we greet our own. These extraordinary dialogues take our appreciation of the dying process a giant step forward." -- Ram Dass In MEETINGS AT THE EDGE, Stephen Levine invites us to eavesdrop on his dialogues with death. Such invitations can be upsetting, but his deft handling of the troubled people he talks with leaves the reader not with a dread of death, but with hope about life." -- Daniel Goleman, author of Vital Lies
