Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross shot to world fame in 1969 upon publication of her seminal work, "On Death and Dying". Through her many books as well as her years working with terminally ill children, AIDS patients, and the elderly, she brought comfort and understanding to millions coping with their own deaths or the death of a loved one. After a series of strokes she found herself, aged seventy, confronted with her own death. In "The Wheel of Life", her ultimate book and much-anticipated autobiography, she offered a work that is as inspiring, insightful and as incendiary as anything she had written in the past. Her memoir traced the events that shaped her intellectually and spiritually, and inevitably led her to explain her ultimate truth - that death does not exist but is a transformation. We see how her birth in Switzerland as the second of triplet girls and her conventional, though happy, childhood formed the base from which her outspoken and confident views sprang. Then, from her work as a young woman in war-ravaged Poland to her pioneering counselling of the terminally ill, her legendary seminars on death and dying at the University of Chicago and her eye-opening discussions with people who had been revived after death, we learn how each experience provided her with a new piece of the puzzle. Dr Kubler-Ross' affirmation of life after death, already expressed in lectures and interviews, sent shock waves through the medical and New Age communities alike. This final statement will no doubt ignite further controversy and debate. "The Wheel of Life" is an extraordinary, thought-provoking memoir of an exceptional woman. Like her previous revolutionary works, it will captivate and enlighten readers as an inspiring portrait of life and living.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. NICE BOOK! MILD WEAR ON DUSTJACKET, A FEW LIBRARY STAMPS, NO MARKING IN TEXT. Booklist: Most people know Kubler-Ross' writings on death and dying, but fewer are familiar with her life. In this autobiography, which she says will be her last book (she has suffered several strokes recently), Kubler-Ross describes her growing-up years in Switzerland as one of a set of triplet sisters, her fight to become a doctor, and later, the even stronger opposition she met when she began her research on death and dying. Despite the weightiness inherent in working with and writing about mortality, the book has a light, almost airy feel to it, which goes along with the author's central theme that death is merely a transformation. Those familiar with Kubler-Ross' ideas (including her notions about life after death, guardian angels, etc. ) will be the natural audience for this book, but even they may be taken aback by the discussion of her visits from spirit guides. Still, her forthrightness and enthusiasm are undeniable. Expect demand. Ilene Cooper.
