With uplifting wisdom from leaders and visionaries, Do Death o Help us rediscover the power of human connection o Inspire us to talk about death more openly o Offer sage advice on navigating grief, and talking to children o Empower us to be better prepared, practically and emotionally Death can be our greatest teacher. This book is a manual for living, at any stage in life.

[Ailsa Britain · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short but invaluable read.

[Ján · Rating 4 out of 5]

Both practical and philosophical. Part of the resources relevant only for UK, but still pretty helpful.

[Trinity Klein · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good reminder to speak openly about death / not be afraid of it. A little more logistical than I needed for this point of my life. Super quick read

[Martin Marius · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mandatory reading

[Vandy Massey · Rating 5 out of 5]

A subject that many will find challenging. This book is a comforting read in that the language is clear and straightforward. The practical information is invaluable.

[Tim Benschop · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot more practical than I was expecting, but very well detailed with sprinkles of philosophy across its duration.
