Our Book Review of the Month is on how to confront the one truth we all share: we’re all going to die. Inspired by Irvin D. Yalom’s profound book "Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death", We explore what it really means to live with the awareness of our own mortality and how that awareness, far from paralyzing us, can actually set us free.
Through storytelling, hard-won insights, modern psychology, and ancient philosophy, I unpack how death anxiety affects our relationships, our work, our choices—and how to transform it into courage, purpose, and deep presence.
