"I was blessed. I was told I had three months to live."
On May 24, 2005, Eugene O'Kelly stepped into his doctor's office with a full calendar and a lifetime of plans on his mind. Six days later he would resign as CEO of KPMG. His lifetime of plans dwindled to 100 days, leaving him just enough time to say goodbye.
Chasing Daylight is O'Kelly's honest, touching, and ultimately inspirational memoir completed in the three-and-a-half months between his diagnosis with brain cancer and his death in September 2005. Its haunting yet extraordinarily hopeful voice reminds us to embrace the fragile, fleeting moments of our lives and the time we have with our family, our friends, and even ourselves.
O'Kelly's examination of the life he lived and the opportunities he missed while climbing the corporate ladder will resonate with readers. - Publishers Weekly
"Voicing universal truths not often found in business or how-to tracts ... [O'Kelly] made a success out of his final mission."- The New York Times
