You and I don't play much of a role in our entrance into this life and we have minimal say about how and when we'll depart. Yet we have a major influence on the time and experiences in between, written as the dash (--) between the dates of our births and deaths. With personal anecdotes, realizations, and sage advice from enlightened people, past and present (who have done well at mastering their D-A-S-H), Peter Burwash offers us a dozen fundamental guidelines for improving our precious journey. Whether you find Peter's advice an alarming wake up call or the encouraging words of a kind and experienced well-wisher, one thing is for sure--this is one of the most cogent 'How To' books you'll find for making the most of this mysterious blessing we call life.
