"I am not sure how often most people think about death. For myself, I think about my death several dozen times per day. This is not a morbid fixation, merely focused self-interest combined with practicality. I have never understood those who refuse to think about their own deaths, or who do things such as decline to buy life insurance because it reminds them that, as an Orthodox morning prayer says, “Of a sudden, the Judge will come, and the deeds of each shall be laid bare.” But every man and woman approaches the topic differently. This short book is a fascinating look by a nuanced writer at his own very close brush with death, and how it changed his own thinking. . . ."
