A transformative guide to embrace your own mortality and live a more fulfilling life
Talking about death has been deemed morbid, taboo, or even pathological. But in order to fully embrace life, scientists, psychologists, and spiritual leaders all agree—contemplating death is the key to living a life with meaning.
This life-changing book will give you a 12-week program to befriend death in your own way, creating your own personal, daily meditation on what it means to be mortal. Through personal anecdotes, historical examples, meditations, exercises, journal prompts, and reflections, you will learn to both come to terms with what death means and to live alongside it without fear. In doing so, you will see your own life in a new light and discover what makes life worth living. After all, there’s no better motivation to seize the day than a regular reminder that your days are numbered.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grieving a loved one, or seeking a greater sense of purpose, Memento Mori is an invaluable guide to living a life of greater meaning and joy.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains the Appendix: Resources and Going Forward section from the printed book.

Through its beautifully curated imagery and thoughtful essays, the book dives deeply into the cultural and historical significance of mortality as a theme in art. Ebenstein masterfully weaves together an understanding of death’s role in shaping human creativity, philosophy, and even spirituality. Her work is not just an academic study, but a profoundly emotional journey that resonates with anyone grappling with life’s impermanence and its artistic expression.
What sets this book apart is its ability to strike a balance between the macabre and the meaningful. Ebenstein invites readers to view death not as something to fear, but as a lens through which to appreciate the beauty of existence and the universality of the human experience. As someone who has often felt called to explore darker themes in my own art, this book has helped me make sense of my inclinations and find a deeper purpose in my work.
Enlightening and transformative.
