Chasing Daylight
by Eugene O'Kelly
The CEO of KPMG is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at fifty-three and given three months. He applies his planning skills to dying well: 'unwinding' relationships in concentric circles, creating perfect moments, and learning presence he never had time for. It is short and plain, finished by his wife.
Read it if…
you are a driven professional who suspects you are postponing life.
Skip it if…
you want literary quality; it is a businessman's honest account.
Three things you will actually use
- Perfect moments are available now, not later.
- Unwind relationships deliberately; do not leave them open.
- Presence can be learned, even late.
Do this first
List the people you would want to say goodbye to and make time for one this week, while there is no deadline.
Our verdict
Short, plain, affecting.
