    Lekce života: O tajemstvích lidského bytí
    • V této knize, která pojednává výhradně o životě a jeho prožívání, spojila Elisabeth Kübler Rossová síly s Davidem Kesslerem – společně nás provázejí řadou praktických i duchovních „životních lekcí“, které musíme zvládnout, abychom dokázali naplno a beze zbytku prožívat každý okamžik svého života. Za léta své práce s umírajícími autoři zjistili, že určité lekce a zkoušky se v lidských životech opakují stále znovu. Často bývá velmi obtížné úspěšně jimi projít – ale dokonce i jen snaha o to, abychom jim porozuměli, pro nás může být velkým přínosem a obohacením. Autoři této knihy ve čtrnácti srozumitelných kapitolách odhalují pravdu o našich obavách, nadějích, vztazích, ale především o velikosti a vznešenosti naší existence.
