From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to find the Good Death Free Audiobook Download by Caitlin Doughty
Death is something that no one knows what it's like until we're in our deaths. This audiobook gives readers a better understanding of the death process, why people have such strong reactions to the concept of death, and how they can cope with what they are going through.
Caitlin Doughty is a mortician, so she knows where all the good bodies go to. Caitlin, who we first meet when she's working at the New York City Morgue and as a Death Salon owner and teacher, writes a book on how we can avoid being buried alive or contracting a potentially deadly infection from an urn. The book talks about how death rituals have changed over time and how people can find peace with the process of dying.
Caitlin Doughty's book, 'From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to find the Good Death,' is a fascinating and informative read. Covering every aspect of death and dying, from the traditional Western medical assembly line treatment in America, to spiritual healing traditions used by indigenous populations around the world, and even eccentric examples of dying outside standard-issue hospital care, this work of nonfiction is an enthralling journey.
This is a book about death. Caitlin Doughty argues that we need to stop seeing death as something sad, morbid and somber, but instead as a celebration of life. In this book, Caitlin travels the world to find many types of good deaths. These include: dying at home; dying outdoors in nature; leaving behind a legacy; or ending one's days with dignity and grace as an animal or plant does.
Caitlin Doughty takes readers on a journey. As she travels through the world, she learns about death rituals in other countries and cultures. The author uses this knowledge to challenge American society's idea of what constitutes a good death.
