Death: A Fact of Life
Publisher: Ten Have
Author has received attention in both national and international media
We prefer not to think about the fact that we will, one day, die. The general tendency in our modern society is ignoring death as much as possible. But sooner or later we will all have to face it…
In a witty and revealing manner, Claudia Crobatia analyses why death is such a taboo in our culture and how other cultures deal with it in a healthier way. Ultimately, awareness of our own mortality leads to a life filled with more happiness and meaning.
Praise on A Course in Dying:
‘Being death positive is above all a matter of facing up to the risk, and since the risk of death is certainly 100%, it’s a matter of being as prepared as possible, both psychologically and materially.’ – L’ADN, France
‘Fear of dying is human. Survival instinct is built into human beings. Being afraid is allowed, as long as we can talk to each other openly about death and dare to confront each other.’ – LINDA.
‘Claudia provides us with tools to get more comfortable with the idea of death and to reduce some of this death anxiety– along with helping us integrate the new perspectives we gain during the course
and turning them into practical actions.’ – Unquiet Things
