Learning to Die in Order to Live: Little things that make life wonderful

By Xavi Argemí Ballbé

Xavi looks at both life and death with different eyes. As a child, he was diagnosed with a degenerative condition called Duchenne disease, which has caused him to lose strength over the years. Now he has to be in a wheelchair, almost unable to move anything, and he needs help for everything. Even to drink water. He knows his illness is progressive. He knows what that means in the end. He knows how it will all go. And he explains it with extraordinary serenity and generosity. And with a sense of humor. In this book, he shares how he has learned to live with death in sight. Or what is the same: how he has been learning to die in order to live. "And, paradoxically, my life has not been - in the strict sense - a miserable life," he writes. And, with enthusiasm, he invites us to enjoy the little big things: a refreshing glass of water, watching the sun go down at sunset, a quiet conversation, the visit of someone you haven't seen in a long time , the silent presence of people you love... Xavi's story and his reflections are an inspiration. A life lesson. This story is available in multiple languages, including the original Catalan and Spanish editions published by Penguin Random House, as well as the newly released English edition published on Amazon.
