Awakened by Death

<p>Fear of death is nearly as inevitable as death itself so we have used modern medicine and the funeral industry to create an ever-increasing distance between us and our mortality. But these interventions have stripped death of its mystery and mysticism.</p> <p>Taking readers on a journey through history guided by the mystics <i>Awakened by Death</i> shows us how our psychological and spiritual relationship to death has changed over time and helps us to reclaim a healthy engagement with our own mortality. Ultimately readers will gain a deeper understanding of how facing the fear of death and embracing rather than eschewing its mysteries can help us live richer fuller lives.</p>
