Synopsis

Living Life in Fast Forward is more than a memoir. Author James J. Hammond shares the raw truth about what it’s like to pursue your vision when you’ve been given an expiration date.

By looking at your life from a fast-forward perspective you can:

• Reset your priorities to pull forward the most important things
• Find your purpose to greatly impact your quality of life
• Learn to care for yourself so you can be at your best
• Understand how empathy for others is different than sympathy for them
• Express genuine appreciation for your most important relationships

The lessons James learned from a life that was sped up are powerful for everyone, but especially for those facing a terminal prognosis, as well as their families and their physicians.

À propos de l?auteur

James Hammond received an Honors Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and an Honors Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science from Western University and became an Associate of both the Society of Actuaries and the Canadian Institute of Actuaries. He grew up in London, Ontario, and lived most recently in the Beaches neighborhood of Toronto with his wife and their Bernese Mountain Dog.James was first diagnosed with cancer, Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (A-RMS), a rare and often lethal form of pediatric sarcoma, at age twenty-six. Following nine months of intensive treatment, he was deemed "cancer-free," returning to his routine of hard work, exercise, and spending time with friends and family, along with a new appreciation for life's ups and downs.Unfortunately, a few weeks before his twenty-eighth birthday, James's cancer returned and he restarted even more aggressive treatment. Ten months later, following a routine procedure, he went into cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated.The James J. Hammond Fund was established to positively impact many future patients facing similarly dire situations and, ultimately, offer them a cure.For more information, visit JJHFund.org
