“Using the lens of a single man and his efforts at the end of his life to preserve his legacy, The Box of Life offers the reader an emotional ‘permission slip’ to delve into their own memories and curate those life moments to outlast their physical lives. Consider this as a workbook. Orit’s executive coaching skills shine through in the structure of the chapters, helping the reader to take small, reflective steps along their path to capture their personal legacy. Be sure to ‘reflect and take actions.’”

Ellen Goodwin, cofounder and CSO of Artifcts

“A careful review of the book reveals a stunning observation—life must be lived in a manner that savors who we are, where we come from, and recognition of what really matters in our personal life journeys. Orit Ramler provides sorely needed wisdom and focused reflection to all of us in need of greater clarity and purpose as we examine the meaning of how best to live and experience our lives.”
