### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    All faiths should read this
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2017*

I was hesitant to read this book because of the label with Buddha. I don't know that I even realized my hesitancy or prejudice because it was, in my mind, a fear of the unknown and probably a concern that I would be "swayed" away from my denomination.  This proves to me how weak I am in my faith, or at least that is what I realized as I read.  I learned so much about my beliefs and myself.  I grew - not only in knowledge, faith or experience but in acceptance and self-assurance. I need to know what I believe  what I can do to help another in their journey. I know I am very good at my care of the aged and infirm. However, I am richer for learning to take that care with myself as well.

    I highly recommend this book for its honesty and warmth
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2016*

This is an important book for an aging portion of our population, the "Boomers," who are now struggling with their own limited circumstances after believing the world was our oyster (after "winning" the Culture War), only to find that not only must we struggle to deal with aging and inadequate incomes, but our failing parents as well.Koshin Ellison is a Zen priest, whose compassion is evident in this illuminating but painful to read book. The difficulties in dealing with demented, delusional, and often hostile parents are starkly laid out, along with some examples of how to deal with those difficulties. Thankfully, Ellison's generosity of spirit helps us deal with the difficulties of reading his book.Aging is not a pretty nor an easy process, especially as we approach end of life. Some manage it more gracefully than others, but some are stricken with senility, multiple medical problems, and financial challenges. This can be seen as a burden, or it may be seen as an opportunity for spiritual practice and growth.I highly recommend this book for its honesty and warmth, but don't be surprised if you don't finish it. There is only so much "bad news" one can take, and the truth about aging is a harsh one---one the Buddha cited as an example of the First Noble Truth: suffering.

    More Important Than a Simple Clinical Guide
  

*by O***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2016*

I recently used this at a workshop I taught. There is more here than the usual clinical advice you can get in about a thousand other books. The material in this book will also guide clinicians as they wrestle with their own thoughts and feelings about death. Which, in my experience, is far more important than a boatload of clinical knowledge.
