Wisdom of the Dying: Lessons from Patients

A deep dive into universal truths about life, meaning, and what truly matters and the science behind them.

Wisdom of the Dying: Lessons Imparted to a Pandemic Physician is a timely analysis of what brings meaning to our lives by bringing attention to the captivating stories of individuals contemplating their lives while on their deathbeds. Blending personal narratives with cutting-edge scientific and medical research, and evidence-based wellness, this book offers solace and guidance for navigating life’s challenges.

Crossing the intersection of self-help, medical science, and positive psychology, this work gives a unique insight into the common thoughts and feelings that Dr. Abbasi observed in his patients who were ready for the end, and those who weren’t. He describes stories that patients shared with him on their deathbeds, and was surprised to discover that many patients had similar experiences during life and sentiments toward death.

By infusing these stories with his own relevant scientific knowledge and research from the fields of medicine, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, Dr. Abbasi provides fascinating and unique insight into why patients experience similar epiphanies and revelations during their most vulnerable time.

He hopes to pass this wisdom on to readers by using both his patient’s life experiences, as well as his in-depth scientific analysis, to grow and achieve a life of meaning and purpose.

“Meaningful relationships with friends and family are crucial ingredients to a purposeful life. We do not know when death will come for us. Investing in these relationships to give our lives meaning should be a priority so we do not regret missing out on this pivotal aspect of life when it is too late.”
