Summary

#1 New York Times Bestseller

What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? is an illustrated collection of your wildest dreams. Two hundred of the most moving, imaginative, unexpected, and inspiring things to do before you die are brought to life through handmade art curated by Ben, Dave, Duncan, and Jonnie--the founders of The Buried Life.

These four regular guys are on a mission to complete a list of 100 things before they die, and for every item they accomplish, they help a total stranger do something on his or her own list.

Why we wrote this book:
We hope that the dreams and words filling these pages will ignite part of you and halt you long enough to sincerely think about what is important to you. It's easy to think about what's important to others but rarely do we truly listen to our gut and our heart, and that is where a bucket list should grow. If nothing in the world were impossible, what would you do? Even if it is impossible, what do you want to do before you die?

Author Notes

Duncan Penn, Ben Nemtin, Dave Lingwood, and Jonnie Penn--collectively known as THE BURIED LIFE--are four guys who have set out to live their dreams and help other people do the same. In the last five years, they have reconnected a father and son, survived on a deserted island, streaked through a stadium, and played basketball with President Obama. They have appeared in countless outlets, from The Oprah Winfrey Show to The New York Times, Forbes to Us Weekly . When they are not crisscrossing the country inspiring generations of people to live out their dreams, they can be found in Los Angeles, their home base.
