Death Can Make You Happy

The Power of Negative Thinking

Available for over a year

In the final episode of Oliver Burkeman鈥檚 series The Power of Negative Thinking, it is finally time to confront what many of us see as the most negative of all experiences: death. Could there really be a path to happiness through thinking more about our own, and our loved ones鈥, mortality? Oliver will speak to a death 鈥榙oula鈥, and ask what lessons we can learn about living from those who are near-to-death. He鈥檒l also explore the modern-day rediscovery of 鈥渕emento mori鈥, constant reminders of death in daily life. In deliberately confronting death, can life take on a new and vivid sense of meaning?
