A raw, powerful, purpose-fuelled manifesto about living fully, from the terminally ill creator behind a global movement, The King of Chemo.

You can't choose how long you live. But you can choose how fully.

At the age of 30, Iain Ward was told he had terminal brain cancer. He didn't crumble. He ran - literally turning his diagnosis into a global fundraising mission and personal call to arms. His platform, The King of Chemo, has since raised over $500,000 for cancer charities and built a community of over 16 million people worldwide.

Now, in his first book - the profits of which will be channelled into his fundraising activities - Iain shares everything he's learned about what matters most when you stop pretending you have forever. He explores how grief can fuel gratitude, how limits can spark momentum and how clarity and purpose can reshape your entire life, even when you're running out of time.

Written with humour, urgency and stunning emotional honesty, this book invites you to-

Reframe your perspective on fear, failure and time
Break out of passivity and start showing up
Connect more deeply to others - and to your own sense of purpose
Recognize what really matters

This is a book about living like you mean it.
