After a potentially fatal car accident, a councillor suggested Victor Frankl's book "Man's search for meaning". I'd highly recommend it.

On the other hand, I'm not convinced that anyone who hasn't faced death can really understand life. You can talk to people and they'll nod and agree but they won't understand. My suggestion for living a fulfilling life would be to nearly die every 5-10 years. It's the only thing powerful enough to remind you what is important about life.
