Professor Yoon, who has studied the fusion of 'good life (well-being)' and 'good death (well-dying)' for more than 35 years, suggests how to prepare for a life without regret and a decent death through this book. It encompasses philosophical inquiry and practical guidelines on important elements of human life such as love, happiness, health, and death. Each season is full of deep advice to help readers live their lives more meaningful and full.

In particular, based on his experience as a doctor preparing for death, death is viewed as a process of completion, not the end of life. Rather than being afraid of death, it is argued that the process of preparing for it makes life more valuable. It also emphasizes that our lives do not end up as just biological beings, but are a process of finding and choosing meaning.
Professor Yoon Young-ho said, "This book asks deep questions about how to make a meaningful life beyond mere survival." He added, "I hope that this book will serve as a guide to reorganizing the direction of life by reflecting on the natural values of human beings in a modern society that is buried only in material success or competition for speed."
