I have to give some love for my own book here. This book tackles our fear of death, how we deny death, and how to accept death; the difference between meaning in life and the meaning of life, if death/atheism make life meaningless, and if anything can replace cosmic meaning.

This book was born from 5 years of intense research into existential concepts and collects all the best secular advice I've come across. It's thoroughly referenced and ends with a list of recommended reading, if you want to dive into any concepts further. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. As I say in my acknowledgments, "if all we're doing is pushing boulders, the company has been excellent."

This book is clearly a labour of love. A deep reflection on what it means to be human, mortal, and temporary beings. Infused with humour, morbid curiosity and lots of wisdom. I'll be reading it again and again.
