À propos de cet audio

You get ready to die the way you get ready for a trip. Start by realizing you don't know the way. Listen to a few travel guides. Study the language, look at maps, gather equipment. Let yourself imagine what it will be like. Pack your bags. This book is one of those travel guides - a guide to preparing for your own death and the deaths of people close to you.

The fact of death is hard to believe. Sallie Tisdale explores our fears and all the ways death and talking about death make us uncomfortable - but she also explores its intimacies and joys. Tisdale looks at grief, what the last days and hours of life are like, and what happens to dead bodies. Advice for Future Corpses includes exercises designed to make you think differently about the inevitable. She includes practical advice, personal experience, a little Buddhist philosophy, and stories.

But this isn't a book of inspiration or spiritual advice - Advice for Future Corpses is about how you can get ready. Start by admitting that we are all future corpses.

I listened intently to this book and couldn’t “put it down”. The content was intriguing, honest, provocative and refreshing. The narration was calm, well paced and enjoyable.

I will be thinking of this book, long after I’ve finished it.

I’ve always been morbidly fascinated with the topic of death and this book provided me with much information and insight on the topic. Though the book is not about Buddhism, Tisdale does a wonderful job of intertwining traditional Buddhist beliefs and practices regarding death into the narrative. The result is informative and comforting. Though the book seems a bit disjunctive and meandering at times, I came away with far more knowledge and understanding of the topic that we and our loved ones all have to face at some time. An interesting read which I highly commend.
