After about thirty minutes on the ice, that’s when I died.

Jeremy Renner had a good life. Oscar nominee, Avenger, father to a beautiful daughter. But in January 2023, he became the most googled person on the planet when he was crushed in an accident.

It was just energy: a constantly connected, beautiful and fantastic energy. Death is nothing to be afraid of.

What he learned is that dying is easy. It’s living that’s hard.

I wasn’t going to die on that ice. I was going to live. I was going to love.

No one truly appreciates life like a man who died. This is a toolkit for life after trauma. You will find joy. You will find peace.

I was given a set of cheat codes for life that day, and in the days and months of recovery since.

Before he died. Jeremy Renner had a good life. Now, thanks to the lessons he learned, he has a great one.

I started to breathe.
