Who Dies? An Investigation of Conscious Living and Conscious Dying. ISBN: 0385262213
The Levines provide calm compassion rather than the frightening melodrama usually surrounding death. What is the true self? What is the difference when the dying person and those around him have their hearts wide open?

A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last. ISBN: 0609801945
According to Socrates we should “always be occupied in the practice of dying” in order to be fully alive. Imagine you have one year left to live. Would this change how you live? Levine undertakes a one-year experiment to find out and shares his discoveries in this book.

Healing into Life and Death. ISBN: 0385262191
In his work with the terminally ill, Levine discovered that in preparing for death many experienced healing, often feeling better than before they became noticeably ill. On the other hand, one of the most important insights is that healing does not always mean the patient continues to live. Often the most profound healing took place in those who did eventually die, but their deaths were transformed into experiences of beauty and grace. Levine concluded that real healing occurred when the heart was opened and there was a balanced integration of body, mind, heart, and soul.

Meetings at the Edge: Dialogues with the Grieving and the Dying, the Healing and the Healed. ISBN: 0385262205
Levine shares the stories of the many ways people live with dying and die as an inevitable part of their life. If you are exploring how to live fully now and eventually to die with dignity, grace, and in full consciousness, this book is an excellent place to start.
