Chasing Daylight

This is a book that will resonate with anyone who is on a fast-paced career path. Eugene O'Kelly, the previous CEO and chairman of the large accounting firm, KPMG, was diagnosed with brain cancer at 53. He was given three months to live, and this is the story of his final days and how he chose to live them. He takes readers along for the experience through his downward spiral, from diagnosis to the process of dying. O'Kelly's story recounts the steps he took to simplify his life and how he learned “to be in the present moment, how to live there at least for snippets of time.” This is a story of how someone faces death purposefully with retrospection and resolution.
