'Combining vivid storytelling with thoughtful reflections… A Second Act calls to something deep inside me, inside all of us, not to let the wonder of being alive pass us by’ Dr Kathryn Mannix, author and palliative care doctor

'Dramatic and heart-warming' The Times 

Dr Matt Morgan has met hundreds of people who’ve come back from the dead. They’re people like Ed, who had been hit by a bolt of lightning –enough volts to power a city for a day – and survived after receiving life-saving CPR. 

In this beautiful and life-affirming book, Morgan introduces us to patients who’ve experienced hypothermia, overdoses, heart attacks and transplants to see how their lives have been transformed by the second chances they’ve been given. He shares the important lessons they’ve learned, along with his own realisations about life and how to make the most of it. 

A Second Act is a powerful call to seize every opportunity and live life to the full. 

‘Morgan is a thoughtful and sensitive writer… [it] contains a lot of wisdom’ New Statesman
