Drawing on the Kathopanishad, one of the great Upanishadic texts, this book explores how understanding death can help us overcome fear and live with greater purpose and awareness.

To understand death, a person must try to understand the purpose of life and the relationship between life and death. The two are partners, each providing a context for the other. Death is not a period, but merely a pause on a long journey. When life and death are accepted as having real meaning and purpose, and death is understood and accepted as part of the human journey, then the fear of death disappears and life can be lived fully.

This book is about the relationship between life and death, and the how and why of organizing one s life in a way that leads to expansion an growth, and is helpful in preparing for the transition we call death.
