For readers of Being Mortal and When Breath Becomes Air, the acclaimed founder of Death over Dinner offers a practical, inspiring guide to life's most difficult yet important conversation. Of the many critical conversations we will all have throughout our lifetime, few are as important as the ones discussing death—and not just the practical considerations, such as DNRs and wills, but what we fear, what we hope, and how we want to be remembered. Yet few of these conversations are actually happening. Inspired by his experience with his own father and countless stories from others who regret not having these conversations, Michael Hebb cofounded Death Over Dinner—an organization that encourages people to pull up a chair, break bread, and really talk about the one thing we all have in common. Death Over Dinner has been one of the most effective end-of-life awareness campaigns to date; in just three years, it has provided the framework and inspiration for more than a hundred thousand dinners focused on having these end-of-life conversations. As Arianna Huffington said, "We are such a fast-food culture, I love the idea of making the dinner last for hours. These are the conversations that will help us to evolve." Let's Talk About Death (over Dinner) offers keen practical advice on how to have these same conversations—not just at the dinner table, but anywhere. There's no one right way to talk about death, but Hebb shares time—and dinner—tested prompts to use as conversation starters, ranging from the spiritual to the practical, from analytical to downright funny and surprising. By transforming the most difficult conversations into an opportunity, they become celebratory and meaningful—ways that not only can change the way we die, but the way we live.

An Inspiring, Powerful True Story of Messages from the Afterlife When Irene, one of three close friends, dies unexpectedly, the trio's lives intertwine in life-changing ways. Immediately following Irene's death, Risë begins to sense her friend's presence around her. While delivering her eulogy from the pulpit at Irene's Celebration of Life, Risë sees Irene sitting in the congregation, her long auburn hair reflecting light from the windows above. Irene is calm and joyful as she glances, smiling, over her family and friends. A fascinating year unfolds as Risë receives continuous communication from Irene from the afterlife through lucid dreams, channeled messages, and synchronicities too profound to be manifestations of her imagination. Under the weekly guidance of a spiritual leadership coach, Risë commits to a disciplined practice of daily meditation, guided imagery, spiritual experiences, and journaling to document all that she is experiencing and to make sense of this new relationship with the afterlife. One year later, Irene directs Risë to write this book from the journals she has filled, telling her that she will be her ghost writer from the other side. The book is to be shared with the world, offering hope and understanding that our loved ones are always with us from beyond the veil to bring comfort and support. Weeks later, the third friend, Anne, receives instructions from Irene to begin creating large, inspiring, "peacock-colored" paintings, using special inks and her breath. Though Anne was not an artist and nor was Irene, the directions are specific that she is to breathe the souls of those who have passed into her paintings using this unusual technique. Within months, Anne has created hundreds of paintings. These astonishing showpieces, some of which are included in the book, are awakening others around the world to connect with the spirit world themselves. When Paradise Speaks is an uplifting and highly engaging story about three friends and what transpired when they were willing to embrace and act on after-death communication. This book validates that our loved ones are with us in spirit, and always ready to offer us their loving guidance. All we must do is be willing to ask, receive, and act on their messages.
