I Don’t Want To Die Behind My Desk

By Samuel Colon

A memoir. A warning. A rebuild.

After a cancer diagnosis forced him to confront the life he had built, Samuel Colon began asking the questions many people avoid until it’s too late.

This book is for leaders, workers, parents, and anyone who has spent years climbing while forgetting why they started.

A story about pressure, purpose, family, identity, and learning how to live before time runs out.

Available now on Amazon.

Why I Wrote This Book

When I heard the words, “You have cancer,” everything changed. Years spent chasing goals, building a career, and helping others suddenly looked different. I realized how easy it is to become successful on paper while drifting away from the people, experiences, and moments that matter most.

I Don’t Want To Die Behind My Desk is not a book about cancer. It is a book about life. It is a reminder to stop long enough to ask where your ladder is leaning before you spend years climbing it.

If this book helps even one person reconnect with what truly matters, then writing it was worth it.
