UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE DEVELOPED OVER 20 YEARS IN THE FUNERAL INDUSTRY: Codi Shewan has worked in the funeral world for almost two decades, first as a funeral director and then as a trainer within the corporate funeral world. His perspective has been shaped by spending so many years of seeing how people's legacies emerge at their funerals -- when they're no longer there to see their impact.

A NEW CONTRIBUTION TO THE BESTSELLING BOOKS ON DEATH AND DYING: The last few years have seen several mega-bestsellers on death and dying, including Being Mortal, When Breath Becomes Air, and Final Gifts. Everyday Legacy is a self-help book that flips the focus on death and dying to the living. It's a book for people wanting to live their fullest life --- who are also conscious of their mortality

Preface

Everyday Legacy is about drawing on experience through story and finding the relatable context that helps steer you more powerfully and purposefully towards your true self. It's about helping you to live the characteristics and values that are important to you so that you're proud of what you're giving the world while you're still alive.

This is not a step-by-step how to live your legacy book. It's a book meant to inspire conversations between you and yourself, first and foremost. To inspire you to live the way you want to be remembered after death. Every single person is unique. Your stories are unique. Your values and virtues are unique. Whoever you are, and whatever your story, I believe this book will change everything you think you know about legacy. Forever. And maybe just maybe, like Elizabeth, it might change your life.

After a career spent staring death in the face every single day, I realize it hasn't taught me anything about dying. It has, however, taught me everything I know about living.
