After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

I enjoyed this book so much. Each of the stories fascinated and engaged me beyond what I was expecting when I chose to purchase this listen. I can say that my expectations were immensely exceeded and enjoyed how the author told her own story through these remarkable stories of hospice patients. I highly recommend this book!

February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.”

When Pico Iyer decided to go to Kyoto and live in a monastery, he did so to learn about Zen Buddhism from the inside, to get to know Kyoto, one of the loveliest old cities in the world, and to find out something about Japanese culture today—not the world of businessmen and production lines, but the traditional world of changing seasons and the silence of temples, of the images woven through literature, of the lunar Japan that still lives on behind the rising sun of geopolitical power.

Great exploration of Japanese culture.
Revisado: 02-11-24
What a wonderful book that explores Japan, its people and culture from the perspective of a foreigner and his interactions primarily with a Japanese lady. I highly recommend this for a deeper understanding of Japan.

A sidesplitting, heartrending look at life—and death. This powerfully personal production, recorded live from the Minetta Lane Theatre, cuts through the platitudes, directly reaching out to anyone who has ever experienced loss—or will. So...everyone.

A Must Listen for the Grieving

Amazing moving yet quite funny talk!
Revisado: 11-10-23
It is relatively short so I listened to the whole thing on a walk. It is quite moving and engaging…I literally was laughing and then crying and back again the whole time. Definitely worth a listen and thank you to Michael for his vulnerability in sharing something so incredibly person and deep for all of us.

This was the first podcast that I listened to when I got Audible and so far it is one if not the best that I have listened to! I really enjoyed the performance and the story was quite engaging.
