Introduction
摘要
In response to our death-phobic culture, this book illustrates that death is an inherent and essential aspect of life itself. At the interface of life and death, we find a fertile ground for the emergence of psychological richness. A rich life is marked by diversity, curiosity, and wisdom. The book highlights the following topics: our everlasting longing for immortality, near-death experiences, death reflection, life review, narcissism, loneliness, cosmic insignificance, beginner’s mind, gains and losses in aging, cultural differences, and the art of wisdom. These and other topics reveal the diverse and multifaceted meanings of death, which can be explored through art, humor, play, and games.
