We don’t like to talk about death—but what if your fear of death
is shaping how you live, and driving your anxiety?
In this solo episode, Jesse shares how his personal experiences
with death—and how a therapist’s simple question unlocked a deep
truth: our fear of death may be the hidden source of our anxiety,
ambition, and need for control.
Drawing from global traditions, we explore what Christianity,
Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and modern secular thinkers believe
about death and the afterlife. From Ecclesiastes to Michael
Singer, Alan Watts to David Gibson, this episode offers a guided
reflection on how our beliefs about death shape how we live.
