This book is a guide to making and carrying out the psychological decision to kill oneself or, if one so decide, to continue living. It focuses on the decision to commit suicide than on the decision to continue living.

Examines the diaries from eight individuals who killed themselves. Using both qualitative analyses and quantitative analyses, the author uncovers the unique thoughts and feelings that led these individuals to take their own lives. He also analyzes suicide notes, poems and letters written by suicides, blogs and twitter feeds.

Says that a decision to commit suicide is highly personal and not to be enforced by others, whether psychiatrist, psychologist, law-maker, clergy, friend, or relative. This book contends that the choice of suicide can be both rational and morally sound.
