Understand death, Easwaran writes, and you’ll live more wisely – you’ll learn more, love more, and contribute more to all around you. By facing death, not fleeing from it, we take our fate into our own hands. With stories from East and West, and quotes from the world’s mystics, this much-respected spiritual author explains the meaning of death, the process of dying, and how to use simple spiritual practices to find the source of abiding joy and security within us all.
