Dr Laurie HATES thinking about her own death. It's scary, creepy
and morbid, right? Wrong. Thinking about our finite lives can
makes us better, happier people. The shadow of death makes
us behave more kindly towards others, and can motivate us both to
enjoy the little joys of life and seek out greater fulfilment in
our careers and in our relationships.

But you need to look death square in the face - and that's not
easy for a thanatophobe like Dr Laurie. To help her, she enlists
psychologist Jodi Wellman (author of You Only Die Once: How to
Make It to the End with No Regrets) and death doula Alua Arthur
(author of Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic
Life by Getting Real About the End).
