Winning the endgame

the long version

"America is a nation of death ostriches. By denying mortality, death ostriches reduce the odds of living well as long as possible. This book will help you optimize the rest of your life. You'll see how to make wise decisions based on your staying power, how to evaluate the pros and cons of selling your house, and how to manage risk. Death ostriches suffer needlessly and die badly. Exiting gracefully requires long-term planning. Winning the Endgame can help you control when, where, and how well you die. Author Ray Brown is cheerful, not morbid -- Paul Revere, not Dr. Kevorkian. His irreverent approach will make you laugh, not cry. What do you want for $12.95? Immortality?"--Page [4] of cover.
