Chinese Summary/中文概要： 生命只剩下最後37天，該怎麼把握，才不枉此生？
2003年10月，作者帕蒂緹的繼父Patti Digh被診斷為肺癌。
經過37天與病魔搏鬥的日子，繼父依然走了。
這段短暫的時間框架，給了帕蒂緹不小的影響。
每天早晨醒來，她會問自己：假如我只剩下37天的壽命，我今天應該做甚麼？
這個答案改變了她的一生，也促使了這本書誕生：書中有部分是沉思、部分是使用指南，部分是回憶錄，《生命是跳躍的動詞》道出了許許多多的人心中最深切的想望。
透過書頁，帕蒂緹定義了六個加快「更有意義的人生」核心實踐方法：
1. 「說『Yes』」，
2. 「相信自己可以辦得到」，
3. 「腳步慢下來！」，
4. 「放寬心胸」，
5. 「大聲去說」，
6. 「勇敢去愛」
她更提供了37個緊張的、可愛的和生活息息相關的文學小故事，每個小故事後面都跟著一個「現在就去做吧！」十分鐘的練習題，這個練習題會比「假定你的生命只剩下三十七天」的練習題更好。(ZYT & SL)

Review
"Patti’s guide for the last 37 days of life will turn every one of your next 3700 days a fully lived experience. If you had some unsolved fear for death, that would be your season ticket to have a free ride on the train with the author. I have never seen such a simultaneously practical, esthetic and soul-caressing book in my life."--Kichiro Hayashi, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo "I laughed. I cried. I want the t-shirt! Seriously, Life is a Verb may well be the single book that will change the world or maybe only your life ... Artful, funny, heart-breaking, Digh reminds us that today isn’t a dress rehearsal and we can start today celebrating the magic of ordinary life. Reading Life is a Verb is like mainlining goodness. Digh shows us what is real and what matters, and she gives us insiders tips on how to make minuscule life corrections that result in quantum shifts in experience. She reminds us that life can easily be fun. This will surely be the last self-help book you will ever need or want to read."---Patricia Ryan Madson, Stanford Emerita, author of Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up
"Life is a Verb is brilliantly-crafted, raw, gorgeously-designed, and daringly different from ’self-help’ books. It relates, through stories that sparkle and astonish and soar, how to move, to be on your way, to realize who you really are through your actions. Through exercises that you participate in, as if in conversation with the author, you will learn, as she promises in the prologue, ’deeper things—how to know what to care about, how to treat others around you (and yourself), what to question, how to love, what to stand up for, and why you should tell stories and listen to the stories of others.’ There is no more important learning.
So read it. Inhabit it. Breathe in every word, because every word of this book is essential. Let it animate you. Annotate it to make it your own. And then let it let you change yourself, and become who you were intended to be. Begin now. You have no time to lose."---Dave Pollard, author of The Natural Entrepreneur, and the weblog How to Save the World
