Book Description
A perennially popular book by a beloved author—now in an updated package with a new preface—sheds light on what the next life may have in store. “A book about living that will help readers see more beauty, feel more power, and know more love.” — don Miguel Ruiz, international best-selling author of The Four Agreements If the dead could speak, don’t you wonder what they would say to those of us they’ve left behind? What would they tell us to soothe our sorrow for their loss, calm our fears of what happens when we die, and fire us up to live the best possible lives we can right now? These are the questions New York Times best-selling author Mike Dooley seeks to answer in The Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell You—and ten years after its initial release, it’s still one of Mike’s most popular and beloved books. In pages filled with wisdom, humor, and, yes, joy, Mike explores our most pressing and profound questions about the afterlife—and this life—by adopting the perspective of those who have made the transition to the next phase. Among the revelations and insights they share: • We were ready; you are not. • There’s no such thing as a devil or hell. • We’re sorry for any pain we may have caused. • Your pets are just as crazy, brilliant, and loving here as they were there. • Nothing we say can prepare you for the beauty of the moment you arrive. New readers are discovering The Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell You all the time—and this anniversary release gives the book a fresh new package and new preface from the author to frame its invaluable insights for the times we live in now. “Mike Dooley lifts the veil between our perceptual world and the world beyond our physical sight. [He] reminds us that we’re always being guided. . . . Read this book and reconnect with the love that is all around you.” — Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author

In time, Monica and Julie get a job driving the company hearse to pick up bodies from the airport, yet even Monica's growing independence can't protect her from her parents' irresponsibility, and from the feeling that she simply does not deserve to be safe. Little does she know, as she finally strikes out on her own, that her parents' biggest betrayal has yet to be revealed...
