Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D., has profoundly changed global perceptions of death and dying. Her influential work began with the publication of *On Death and Dying*, and throughout her career, she provided comfort to countless individuals facing terminal illness, including children, AIDS patients, and the elderly. Now, at seventy-one and confronting her own mortality, she shares her life story and her belief that death does not exist. With warmth and honesty, her memoir reflects her intellectual and spiritual journey. Kübler-Ross embraces her individuality, stating, "If I am opinionated and independent... so what? That is me." Her conviction, which challenged dogma and skepticism, was evident from her childhood in Switzerland, where she witnessed injustice and resolved to effect change. Her experiences, from aiding war-torn Poland to counseling the dying and leading seminars at the University of Chicago, contributed to her understanding of life and death. In a society that often avoids discussions about death, Kübler-Ross illuminated the topic, encouraging openness and acceptance. Through her remarkable life story, she emphasizes that free will is our greatest gift and that our purpose is spiritual evolution.
