Briefly Perfectly Human

Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End
Book • 2024
In 'Briefly Perfectly Human,' Alua Arthur combines intimate storytelling with a passionate appeal for loving, courageous end-of-life care, which she calls 'death embrace.

' The book is a powerful testament to getting in touch with something deeper in our lives by embracing the fact of our own mortality.

Arthur draws from her personal experiences, including fleeing a violent coup in Ghana, battling severe depression, and supporting a loved one through terminal illness, to illuminate the power of acknowledging our mortality and how it can become a catalyst for self-reflection and personal growth.
