Drawing on history, anthropology, psychology, and science, the book reveals why the knowledge that we must die has influenced nearly everything humans have created.
Travel across cultures and centuries to discover egyptian preparations for the afterlife, the philosophical teachings of epicurus and the stoics, medieval manuals for dying well, mexico's dia de los muertos, tibetan traditions surrounding death, the medicalization of dying, the hospice revolution, near-death experiences, and today's pursuit of biological and digital immortality.
This is not a morbid book. It is an invitation to examine death honestly—and discover what mortality can teach us about living more consciously, courageously, and meaningfully.
