Summary

Ray Robertson: How to Die: A Book on How to Live

Although contemporary society avoids the topic of death and often values the duration of life more than its quality, Canadian novelist and essayist Ray Robertson argues that conscious and deliberate thinking about death is "neither morbid nor frivolous," but essential to our ability to fully appreciate life. "How to Die" is both an intellectual journey through some of the most compelling works of Western literature on the subject of death and a work based on personal experience, which invites us to a deeper understanding of death - because if we do, we will better know what it means to live a meaningful life. "Here is another irony: the most appropriate time to think about death is not when we are young, old or sick, but when we are happily and healthily immersed in life. And not out of metaphysical masochism or a sense of docile humanism, but because, as Montaigne observed: 'Whoever would teach men to die, would teach them to live.' The longest and most lasting learning takes place primarily through our search for ourselves. And if we can better educate ourselves about what death is, we will surely know more about what life is.
