In his latest book, David Servan-Schreiber spoke about how he struggled with the disease day after day, about four surgeries, about difficult moments and simple everyday joys, about the precious support of loved ones, about the fear of death, about a father, about children, about love. …
The last book of the neuroscientist, writer, longtime author and Psychologies expert David Servan-Schreiber (1961-2011) is the most personal and poignant. He wrote it in 2010 after learning about the recurrence of his illness, a brain tumor he had been battling continuously, day after day, for 19 years. His book is a farewell to everyone he loved, a memory of the precious moments of life. And a calm, not devoid of self-irony reflection on his own departure from the position of a scientist and a man whose books and lectures helped many people live better until the very end. His parting words are devoid of despondency, they warm and support, convincing that it is possible to «say goodbye» without breaking each other’s hearts.
