It is a book about death, but above all about life – about how to live it well, being aware of its inevitable end. We will not find ready-made recipes for a "good departure" or metaphysical speculations about what awaits us "on the other side." Instead, the author presents concrete experiences of doctors: oncologists, cardiologists, geriatricians, palliative care specialists, pathologists, nurses, or young residents. Their reflections, observations, and questions become the starting point for a conversation about what is really important.

Michał Dobrołowicz, the author of the book, approaches the topic of death with extraordinary sensitivity and empathy, avoiding cheap sentimentalism and moralizing. His conversations with doctors are full of respect for their work and experiences, and at the same time encourage reflection on one's own life and values. This book not only provides insight into the reality of medical professionals' work but also teaches how to appreciate each day and how to prepare for the inevitable.

"On the Edge of Life" is a book that does not take away joy but teaches not to treat it as something obvious. It shows that one can prepare for death – without knowing when it will come – and that one can become familiar with it by treating life as a complete process: with a beginning and an end. It is a book that does not so much talk about death as it encourages a more attentive life. The publication has 232 pages, a format of 208x146 mm, and a paperback cover. Published in 2025 by PZWL Publishing House.

This book is ideal for people interested in medicine, psychology, philosophy, and for those seeking inspiration for a deeper understanding of life and death. It is a read that will surely prompt reflection and help to better appreciate each day.
