Description

A moving personal narrative from Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria star Eric Dane, on the most impactful days--past, present, and future--of his life.

In 2006, Eric Dane guest starred on Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Mark "McSteamy" Sloan, a moment that would change his life. What was intended to be a one-time guest appearance, landed him a recurring role on the Emmy nominated show and would launch his acting career, leading to other roles in hit series like The Last Ship and Euphoria.

Years later, Dane experienced another life-changing moment: being diagnosed with ALS. The sudden diagnosis caused him to slow down and reflect on the moments that had shaped him. In My Book of Days, Dane shares these reflections and invites readers to do the same with their lives.

Told through a series of "days" that each illuminate a defining experience or emotional truth, My Book of Days captures everything from the grind of his early years in Hollywood and the hard-won peace of sobriety to the profound clarity that came with his ALS diagnosis. With his newfound perspective that our days are all we truly have, Dane reflects on the beauty and weight of each one--on the joy, the pain, the lessons, and the grace found in simply being present. Dane also looks beyond his lifetime to the "future days" that would come after he was gone--days meant for his daughters to read, to remember, and to carry forward. He leaves behind not just a record of his life, but a lasting guide to cherishing time itself: a reminder that while most of us don't think in days, we should, because each day is both a story and a gift.

Poignant, vulnerable and deeply human, My Book of Days is a profound meditation on the passing of time and what matters most when you're looking at life through the lens of a terminal illness.
