Aprender a morir para poder vivir

Xavi looks at both life and death with different eyes. As a child he was diagnosed with a degenerative disease known as Duchenne disease, which causes him to gradually lose strength. Currently he is in a wheelchair, can barely move and needs assistance with almost everything. Even to drink water. He is perfectly aware that his illness is inexorable. He knows what he carries. How it will advance. And he is able to explain it with extraordinary serenity and generosity. Even with a sense of humor. In this book Xavi shares with the reader how he has learned to live with death in sight. Or, what is the same, how he has learned to die in order to live. "My life is not being -strictly speaking- a miserable life", he writes. And with enthusiasm he invites us to enjoy the little things: a good glass of water, a sunset, a quiet chat, the reunion with a person you haven't seen for a long time, the silent presence of the people you love... Xavi's story and his reflections are an inspiration. A life lesson.
