Audiokniha čerpá z osobní zkušenosti autorky, která několik let působila v paliativní péči. Setkání s lidmi, jimž perspektiva blízké smrti naléhavě otevřela palčivá osobní témata a možná trochu pozapomenuté hodnoty, proměnila i její vlastní život. Rozhovory s umírajícími naznačily několik hlavních směrů lítosti - kéž bych měl odvahu žít opravdu podle sebe, ne podle očekávání druhých, kéž bych tolik nepracoval, kéž bych měl odvahu vyjádřit své city, kéž bych si udržel vztahy se svými přáteli, kéž bych si dovolil být šťastnější.

Cosa succede quando l'irruzione di un imprevisto spezza una simbiosi durata più di sessant'anni? Quando, senza avvertire, una terribile notizia rompe il legame quasi simbiotico che aveva tenuto due fratelli uniti sin dai loro primi giorni su questa Terra? È quello che racconta Enrico Vanzina che in questo audiolibro ripercorre la storia del rapporto con suo fratello Carlo, fino alla scoperta della malattia che lo ha colpito, portando, nel giro di un anno, alla sua scomparsa.

E quando capiamo che la vita non è quello che credevamo, come cambia a quel punto il suo senso per noi? Solo chi vive nella frontiera fra vita e morte può rispondere. Per quarantanni il dottor Momcilo Jankovic ha curato i bambini leucemici nel reparto di Emato-oncologia pediatrica dell'ospedale San Gerardo di Monza, centro d'eccellenza nazionale.

In 2014, after being forced to quit her professional recruiting career due to excessive hospitalizations from complications of cystic fibrosis, Klyn Elsbury was confined to a wheelchair with her lung function plummeting below 40 percent.

I Am ____: The Untold Story of Success is a blend of raw emotion and inspiring wisdom.

"27 april 2015: Jag stod inne på toaletten och stirrade på mig själv i spegeln. Lång mörkblå sjukhuskofta över den vita särken. I övrigt såg jag frisk ut, med håret i tofs, osminkad, men fräsch. Jag lyfte upp mobiltelefonen och tog en selfie rätt in i spegeln. En bild på mig själv lutad mot det vita kaklet bakom mig. Det fanns något hårt i min mage. I morgon skulle jag sövas och skäras upp. Äggstockarna skulle bort, bukhinnan också, äggledarna, livmodern och blindtarmen. Allt som kunde avvaras. Ifall det hårda i min mage var cancer."

We have lost the war on cancer. We spend $150 billion each year treating it, yet - a few innovations notwithstanding - a patient with cancer is as likely to die of it as one was 50 years ago. Most new drugs add mere months to one's life at agonizing physical and financial cost. In The First Cell, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. 

Quando Pietro Bartolo, medico di Lampedusa, vide Anila per la prima volta rimase di sasso. Quella bambina non avrà avuto più di dieci anni. Che cosa ci faceva una creatura così piccola, da sola, in una nave piena di naufraghi disperati? Di solito, ragionò, i bambini di quell'età arrivano qui in Italia accompagnati dai genitori, o da un amico di famiglia o da qualche altro adulto conosciuto lungo il viaggio.

Ma nonostante questo Giovanni è andato avanti e ha affrontato la sua difficile situazione con coraggio, forza e determinazione.
