"This book is a must for anyone who may be grappling with dying well ... a masterpiece."—PHILLIP GOLD, M.D., Library of Congress Council of Scholars, Author of Breaking Through Depression "A gentle, well considered guidebook for making peace with life’s end."—KIRKUS REVIEW Good to Go is a passionate and personal appeal for how we can approach our last breath with wisdom and without fear, pain, or regret. If you are fortunate enough to have some time towards the end of life to approach death consciously, this book will have value for you and your loved ones. It is possible that our last chapter can be filled with as much beauty as our first. Over five decades, Dr. John Horton developed five understandings about how we can move towards death and make our departure safe, comfortable and peaceful. It can even be elegant. In Good to Go , he shares these understandings through more than 25 short stories of people whom he had the good fortune to meet and treat as they approached death. These stories will fill your soul with a new sense about your time on earth and help you connect with your life’s deep meaning. "I love this book, which is beautifully written and full of interesting stories, poetry, and wisdom. While there is something in us that is afraid of death, there is also something in us that is not afraid of death. Good to Go helps us to recognize and trust whatever it is in ourselves that is not afraid, so we can face whatever comes with open and peaceful hearts." — Michael Kearney, M.D., Palliative Care & Hospice Doctor, Cottage Health, Author of A Place of Healing: Working with Nature and Soul at the End of Life and The Nest in the Stream "Dr. Horton is an exceptional physician who has spent a lifetime attempting to facilitate communication between patients and their doctors and patients and their families.
