In this book: Todd May talks about: the faces of death, immortality and is it better than being a mortal and how we should be living in the shadow of death. I really enjoyed reading this book as it changed my viewpoint on some ideas and it showed me the ironic connection between life and death. Even if ive started reading about philosophy recently i was able to go trough this book without confusion as it explains the ideas using great examples and analogies, it also doesn't go into very detailed explaining in some parts so if you want to learn more i would recommend checking out the sources he used for research and examples. If you are looking for a place to start reading about death i would say this book would be great start.
