Living Life in Fast Forward is more than a memoir. Author James J. Hammond shares the raw truth about what it's like to pursue your vision when you've been given an expiration date.


By looking at your life from a fast forward perspective you can:


  1. Reset your priorities to pull forward the most important things
  2. Find your purpose to greatly impact your quality of life
  3. Learn to care for yourself so you can be at your best
  4. Understand how empathy for others is different than sympathy for them
  5. Express genuine appreciation for your most important relationships


The lessons James learned from a life that was sped up are powerful for everyone, but especially for those facing a terminal prognosis, as well as their families and their physicians.


"I know that - even in our darkest chapters and literal worst nightmares - we still hold the pen, and we retain authorship of our own stories." 

James J. Hammond

Industry Reviews

Living with cancer is devastatingly difficult, but dying young is by far the hardest. In his book, James has accurately and succinctly explained what every single person with cancer should consider. He has artfully and eloquently told the truth. He has embodied that shift of hope we ask our patients to embrace, and if only everyone could follow. This is not a memoir but a series of lessons which need to be learned by patients, their families, and most especially, us, the oncologists. James's legacy will continue to live through his family, but his words will enliven everyone who reads them.

During his two-year journey with cancer, James had a chance to think and write about his life and its premature ending. We have the privilege to read those thoughts in this remarkable book. It was clearly written to bring some comfort to people who will travel down the same path, and those who accompany them. In particular, they will learn what they too might experience, and how one person learned to overcome his fears and live the rest of his life to the fullest.
