Critic reviews

“Complex and thoughtful, with a refreshingly upbeat attitude.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Insider advice for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis.” —NPR

“A moving message-in-a-bottle from a great Jeopardy! champion.” —Ken Jennings

Wonderfully surprised

This was an absolutely inspiring story. As someone who has seen a family member go through cancer and treatments, I highly recommend this audiobook.

Real

Jeff’s book brought so many messages into my mind. His story is real. Cancer is real. I was intrigued the entire time with hearing his experience medically, his emotions personally and his knowledge professionally, as well as his wisdom. It’s a great story of reflection and is relatable even if cancer isn’t touching your life.

Inspiring

The author describes his cancer journey vividly and intimately, pulling no punches. Intertwined with that narrative are 100 gems of hard-earned wisdom about life in general that he is sharing with his 7 children, and with us. The audio version is read by the author, and is powerfully poignant because he is telling his story not just to us, but to his children who will likely soon lose their amazing and loving father.

Very sweet story

Great book. Jeff is clearly a very intelligent, loving and compassionate man. I followed from TikTok. I'm rooting you Jeff and your family!

This book is for everyone

Inspiring, engaging, and well-paced, this book is important for anyone who knows someone with cancer. But, really, it's for everyone. It illustrates the relationship between a loving father and his family, lays out the thoughtful and broad-ranging advice he wants to leave for his children, and opens the door to what it is like to be a cancer patient. As a scientist myself, I appreciate that he summarizes some of the science behind his cancer and its treatment, doing so in a manner that is both clear and engaging. Acknowledging that I know the author, I loved hearing him read the book. It is amazing to hear him address the cancer, whose final chapter is not yet written, in such a level-headed way, making the times when emotion seeps through all the more poignant. Although I only recently finished it, I have already purchased two more copies as gifts. The book is hard to put down and is well worth the read.
