really liked it
bookshelves: 2023, nonfiction

Heartfelt and profound this was a special book, amusing but less "jokey" than Mary Roach's *Stiff* — recommend!

Death might appear to destroy the meaning in our lives, but in fact it is the very source of our creativity. As Kafka said, "The meaning of life is that it ends." Death is the engine that keeps us running, giving us the motivation to achieve, learn, love, and create.
