First, he’s a Reset, which means that whenever someone murders him, he wakes up on the morning of his dying day to start all over again. Which might sound like a pretty awesome superpower, but it’s actually super sucky because he’ll eventually die of cancer or old age, after which point he'll just keep reliving his agonizing dying day forever. His second problem is people keep murdering him. So he teams up with another Reset and they storm the lab where it all began in an effort to undo this unordinary death disorder. They keep dying, they keep trying, and then they keep resetting and relaunching their attack until they almost succeed. But then the girl Kenny fell in love with gets kidnapped, and then his partner gets kidnapped, and then pretty much everyone else gets kidnapped, leaving Kenny all alone with his thoughts and a nagging question that just won’t die: what’s left to save when everyone and everything you know is gone?

Book excerpt: Synopsis of "Zen and the Art of Living and Dying" "Zen and the Art of Living and Dying" offers readers a profound exploration of the Zen philosophy and its holistic approach to life and death. It serves as an enlightening guide that uncovers the intricate web of interconnectedness that binds the universe and every being within it. The narrative begins with the concept of the "Cosmic Play", painting a picture of a universe where everything from galaxies to the minutest particles are intertwined in a ceaseless dance of existence. The book then transitions into "Mindful Living", emphasizing the importance of being present and fully experiencing each fleeting moment. Through the practice of mindfulness, one learns to appreciate the nuances of life, fostering a deep connection to the world around them. Challenging traditional perceptions, "Beyond Dualities" reframes life and death as two sides of the same coin, emphasizing their interdependent nature. From the Zen perspective, death is not an end but rather a transition to a new phase of existence. This realization encourages a sense of acceptance and curiosity about the mysteries of life and beyond. With "Embodying Impermanence", the book delves into the transient nature of life, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging change and letting go of attachments. This understanding equips individuals to navigate life's challenges and prepare for the eventual transition of death. Taking readers further into self-reflection, "The Illusion of Self" challenges the conventional understanding of ego and identity. Zen teachings propose that our sense of self is a mere construct, suggesting that acknowledging our place in the grander scheme brings us closer to a state of universal oneness. "Transition as Transformation" explores the concept of life beyond what we perceive, suggesting that transitions are about evolving and entering a new phase of existence. This philosophy is complemented by the "Daily Practice" section, which introduces Zen rituals that ground individuals in their daily life while preparing them for life's ultimate transition. The book then delves into "The Nature of Reality", highlighting the harmonious coexistence of the tangible world and ethereal realms. This perspective emphasizes recognizing the profound in the everyday. Drawing on this understanding, the "Circle of Samsara" segment elaborates on the cyclical nature of existence, where life, death, and rebirth are interconnected stages in an endless journey.

Book excerpt: This “comforting…thoughtful” (The Washington Post) guide to maintaining a high quality of life—from resilient old age to the first inklings of a serious illness to the final breath—by the New York Times bestselling author of Knocking on Heaven’s Door is a “roadmap to the end that combines medical, practical, and spiritual guidance” (The Boston Globe). “A common sense path to define what a ‘good’ death looks like” (USA TODAY), The Art of Dying Well is about living as well as possible for as long as possible and adapting successfully to change. Packed with extraordinarily helpful insights and inspiring true stories, award-winning journalist Katy Butler shows how to thrive in later life (even when coping with a chronic medical condition), how to get the best from our health system, and how to make your own “good death” more likely. Butler explains how to successfully age in place, why to pick a younger doctor and how to have an honest conversation with them, when not to call 911, and how to make your death a sacred rite of passage rather than a medical event. This handbook of preparations—practical, communal, physical, and spiritual—will help you make the most of your remaining time, be it decades, years, or months. Based on Butler’s experience caring for aging parents, and hundreds of interviews with people who have successfully navigated our fragmented health system and helped their loved ones have good deaths, The Art of Dying Well also draws on the expertise of national leaders in family medicine, palliative care, geriatrics, oncology, and hospice. This “empowering guide clearly outlines the steps necessary to prepare for a beautiful death without fear” (Shelf Awareness).

Book excerpt: "Bracing and beautiful . . . Every human should read it." —The New York Times A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice At the age of sixty, Cory Taylor is dying of melanoma-related brain cancer. Her illness is no longer treatable: she now weighs less than her neighbor’s retriever. As her body weakens, she describes the experience—the vulnerability and strength, the courage and humility, the anger and acceptance—of knowing she will soon die. Written in the space of a few weeks, in a tremendous creative surge, this powerful and beautiful memoir is a clear-eyed account of what dying teaches: Taylor describes the tangle of her feelings, remembers the lives and deaths of her parents, and examines why she would like to be able to choose the circumstances of her death. Taylor’s last words offer a vocabulary for readers to speak about the most difficult thing any of us will face. And while Dying: A Memoir is a deeply affecting meditation on death, it is also a funny and wise tribute to life.
