Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty - a 20-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre - took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life’s work. With an original voice that combines fearless curiosity and mordant wit, Caitlin tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters, gallows humor, and vivid characters (both living and very dead).

Story
Whether we realize it or not, we all take risks large and small every day. Even the most cautious among us cannot opt out - the question is always which risks to take, not whether to take them at all. What most of us don't know is how to measure those risks and maximize the chances of getting what we want out of life. In An Economist Walks into a Brothel, Schrager equips listeners with five principles for dealing with risk, principles used by some of the world's most interesting risk takers.

Our world has ended five times: It has been broiled, frozen, poison gassed, smothered, and pelted by asteroids. In The Ends of the World, Peter Brannen dives into deep time, exploring Earth's past dead ends, and in the process offers us a glimpse of our possible future. Many scientists now believe that the climate shifts of the 21st century have analogs in these five extinctions.

Psychiatry has come a long way since the days of chaining "lunatics" in cold cells and parading them as freakish marvels before a gaping public. But, as Jeffrey Lieberman, MD, the former president of the American Psychiatric Association, reveals in his extraordinary and eye-opening audiobook, the path to legitimacy for "the black sheep of medicine" has been anything but smooth.

Once we were drivers, the open road alive with autonomy, adventure, danger, trust, and speed. Today we are as likely to be in the back seat of an Uber as behind the wheel ourselves. Tech giants are hurling us toward a shiny, happy "self-driving" future, selling utopia but equally keen to advertise to a captive audience strapped into another expensive device. Are we destined, then, to become passengers, not drivers? Why We Drive reveals that much more may be at stake than we might think.

Pocket has been Lear's cherished fool for years. So naturally Pocket is at his brainless, elderly liege's side when Lear demands that his kids swear to him their undying love and devotion. Of course Goneril and Regan are only too happy to brownnose Dad. But Cordelia believes that her father's request is kind of...well...stupid, and her blunt honesty ends up costing her her rightful share of the kingdom and earns her a banishment to boot.

Publisher's Summary
The best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with "dignity".
Fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty set out to discover how other cultures care for their dead. In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. Grandpa's mummy has lived in the family home for two years, where the family has maintained a warm and respectful relationship. She meets Bolivian natitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to a Japanese kotsuage, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved ones' bones from cremation ashes.
With curiosity and morbid humor, Doughty encounters vividly decomposed bodies and participates in compelling, powerful death practices almost entirely unknown in America. From Here to Eternity introduces death-care innovators researching green burial and body composting, explores new spaces for mourning - including a glowing Buddha columbarium in Japan and America's only open-air pyre - and reveals unexpected new possibilities for our own death rituals.
Author bio: Mortician Caitlin Doughty - host and creator of Ask a Mortician and the New York Times best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - founded the death acceptance collective The Order of the Good Death and cofounded Death Salon. She lives in Los Angeles, where she runs her nonprofit funeral home, Undertaking LA.

You never thought death would be so interesting
Caitlin has a natural gift for bringing you into the story and experiencing the moment as if you are standing there with her. Performance was great and I learned more than a few things. Although talking about death can be uncomfortable, Caitlin takes you on a journey to be more open and have a different perspective on death it's self and grief. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book and recommend it.

The order of the good review
I adore this book. It invites you to turn and look at the things we as a culture run from, here in the West. It pulls back curtains and lets us know that there is nothing to be afraid of on the other side. I cried happy tears the whole way through, swept away by the love and care Caitlin presents to us, letting us know it’s okay for us to love and care as well.

Learned so much!
I love all of Caitlin's books, but I think this one is my favourite! I learned so much about different cultures and started my unlearning of what I thought to be "normal" death practices.
I figured not much of it would be news to me, seeing how I've watched all of her YouTube videos, but she has so much more to share. Can't wait to see what she teaches me next!

Great insight into 'the good death'
I am a long time follower of Caitlin Doughty on YouTube. I appreciate her frankness, commitment to facts and quirky compassion to how different cultures and families grieve. I would highly recommend this book, and her other two books for someone looking to be more death positive - or simply to start exploring the topic.

Eye opening
I have been a Caitlin Doughty fan for a few months now. I discovered her from her on line series Ask a Mortician. This book "especially narrated by her" was everything I was expecting and wanted it to be. She never leaves any rock unturned and is not afraid to explore different cultures and traditions around death. This book opened my eyes to a new world of death positivity. Very good read and listen.
