Summary: Beautifully written and truly memorable!
Comment: When I saw Laurence Shames interview on televison last week, only having caught a portion of it -- for some inexplicable reason I felt compelled to read this book. I mentioned my interest in reading this book to a few people, and got a some sideways glances...I'm sure they were wondering why a pregnant woman would be drawn to a memoir of a dying man? Shouldn't I be reading something a bit livlier? I knew just enough about the remarkable life of Peter Barton that I really wanted to know, what were his final thoughts?
This book is about the adventure of being alive, the choices we make and the risks we take that make it incredible. There are pearls of wisdom in this book -- his remarkable insight into business, parenthood, love and of course the eventual struggle we all will face with our own mortality. It's the type of book you finish, and then just sit there for awhile soaking it in -- feeling a bit changed from having read it.

Summary: Insight at the end of life
Comment: Peter Barton was my son-in-law and continually surprised me by always seeing the "big" picture while I (like most of us) wallowed in the details of life. He wrote it with Laurence Shames after learning of an impending, untimely death.
He was an extraodinarily creative person, always able to see the context of every situation. Life rewarded him well financially but, most of all, with an uncanny sense of where we fit in the course of our lives.
This book is filled with large-scale insights, many of which will be useful to each of us. Even knowing him, I found the book a worthwhile read. I personally grew from the "read," as I'm sure you will. It may reset your values as well as your expectations regarding living.
Laurence Shames is skillful not only with words but also with conveying ideas. His book reads very well.

Summary: Work as if you Don't Have to, Dance as if No One is Watching
Comment: Life is a journey and it doesn't wait. It's there to enjoy if you seize the day, but it will pass you by if you wait. That's the message that permeates this amazing, life-changing book. The comparisons to Rikki Lee Travolta 'My Fractured Life' ring true. Books that make us feel and engage us to live - to not fall victim to challenges or live in denial of our mistakes.
