An engaging, humorous read exploring serious health issues, life, and the inevitability of death. by Brendan Lloyd, PhD, psychologist, Byron Bay.
I have a journey ahead of me. I wonder if I will learn to live better in order die well?
I remember the slap to re-connect with real-time to heighten my senses and sharpen my wit whilst I’m alive.

He immediately began writing notes in my file. Head down, writing away, paying no attention to me. There was no answer. I have a ten percent chance of having prostate cancer, so what’s next? No, he’s just writing notes. I said, “well, is that it?” He looked up briefly and waved me off. And that was it.
