Customer Reviews

If you never buy another inspirational book again.....

Patrick has written a magnificent book - he opens his fears and dreams to the reader - and inspires each and evey one of us to rethink their life and do something about it! I found the message MOST inspiring, in fact I am on my way to realising two of three "dreams" that I have thought about for YEARS. This book is an easy read - but moves at a good pace and reminds us that "now is the time - do it now!" Thank you Patrick - I have written in my "date" and signed the pledge.

A Great Read

Patrick Mathieu's book is not only life-changing, its a great read. Inspirational with an engaging plot line. He shows readers how facing mortality can free you to live the life you were meant to live. His book will help anyone embrace their mortality for the gift that it is - a reminder that you have to live your best life now.

The Truth is Now

On [...], Patrick Mathieu tells us the ultimate truth in our lives. This truth transcends gender, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation and education. It boils down to one word....NOW. "Now is the only time we ever have. Now is the only time you can be happy. Now is the only time you can be free." As a medical provider who has worked with hundreds of people dying, be it immediate or drawn out...I have heard this truth over and over again. You owe it to yourself to read the book, hear the message, and heed it with all you have. Your life depends on it. Barbara C. Phillips, NP, [...]

Humor and Honesty

How would you like to know the date on which you'd die? A scary thought. But, according to Mathieu, a liberating one. Don't be fooled by this small book. It's a pack of dynamite. While most of us learn life lessons over a lifetime, Patrick Mathieu was forced to learn quickly the true value of his time, his dreams, and his fears. Faced with his own impending date with death, he went through anger and frustration. Then...he discovered lessons that changed everything. "What's Your Expiry Date?" is a wonderfully written book. It reads quickly, mixing humor and honesty in potent doses. We all must face the question of our own mortality. Mathieu offers his readers a chance to do so--without fear, without regrets, and with a smile as we face our futures.

the power of mortality

Author Patrick Mathieu asks, "Suppose someone handed you an envelope and told you the date of your death was printed on a card inside. Would you open the envelope?" We are all mortal, but not many of us give our mortality much thought. After all, there are millions of things that we would rather discuss than our inevitable death. Still, Mathieu asks, how powerful would we be if we were to live our lives without the fear of death? Mathieu shares his unique perspective as someone who was given an "expiry date" as a teenager, told that he was not expected to live past 30. Through this experience he developed a profound appreciation for living in the present. He shares this revelation with boldness, infectious enthusiasm and refreshing humor. How powerful would your life be if you stopped dwelling on the past and worrying about the future, and fully lived in the present? Or, as Mathieu asks, "...what's the worst that can happen to you if you've already come to terms with death?" Come to terms with your death, and you will truly begin to experience life!
