Death is potentially one of the most fearsome topics that we encounter in our lifetimes but does it have to be? That's what we're going to discuss today, reviewing our thoughts on death and the fear of it. We work to uncover some insights on regrets, the apathy of living, and the carelessness we have given to the passing minutes of our daily lives.
Our goal isn't to make you tackle death head-on with the vigor of a samurai warrior but to give more thought and consideration to your own finite existence. When do you suppose you'll die? What remains undone? What variables are in your control? There is much to consider and we hope this episode gives you the courage to start that journey.
