What Jim Moret Talks About:

The Last Day of My Life
What would you do if you had 24 hours left to live?

Should you finally forgive the one who hurt you the most and would you find the courage to apologize to the person you wronged?

Who would you remember as your life’s greatest love?

Could you recognize what you are truly grateful for?

Jim Moret didn’t fully understand the answers to those questions until he was literally a day away from ending his own life. This veteran television broadcaster and interviewer turns the camera on himself, taking the reader on an intimate journey. He moves beyond depression, tragedy, and self-doubt and grapples with his greatest decision: not simply whether to live but how to live.

If you had only 24 hours left… what would you do?
