"Our biggest fear," says poet and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, "is that we will become nothing when we die. If we think that we cease to exist when we die, we have not looked very deeply at ourselves." It is possible to live every day without being afraid of what happens when we die. Through a close examination of who we are, how we exist, and how we live, we can conquer our fear to live a freer and happier life. Through stories and lucid teachings, Thich Naht Hanh brings peace of mind to a difficult subject, and shows is how to live a happier life, free of fear.

Story
Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. Neurosurgeon Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere.

Story
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the "why" of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie: man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. In doing so, he sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates more than 30 years after its writing.

As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.

Story
Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

Most of us live in a constant state of fear - of our past, of illness and aging and death, and of losing the things we treasure most. But it doesn't have to be this way, promises Zen master and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Drawing on a lifetime of mindfulness in action, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to use the practice of living in the present to acknowledge and embrace our fears, recognize their origins, and render them powerless. The world-renowned Zen teacher guides us through practical exercises for transforming fear into clarity.

Good, but I missed more on atheism.
I think this book will not help much for people which are scared of oblivion (first theory). Other theories are also explored not deep enough...

Wonderful presentation of a difficult topic
Reading Kelvin's book helped guide me through grieving for all my lost family members. As the only survivor of my family I was carrying a heavy load, especially that a sibling could have gone to hell. The Four Belief systems help me examine my own feelings about a possible after life and my fear of the angry God from my childhood upbringing. Kelvin gently leads the reader by relating his own experiences and stories about death and beyond. His stories truly come alive when listening to his narration of his own book. His deep tone and calm demeanor is like a soothing balm. His storytelling style is both engaging and informative. I have been practicing Kelvin's meditation technique of "turning within" for several years. I wish I had discovered it and his message about death years ago when I was grieving so deeply. It has helped to expand my thoughts and stop scaring myself over things unknown so I can use that energy to enjoy life in the now. A very soothing and compassionate book that I recommend to everyone no matter where they are right now.

A great find!
Where does Overcoming the Fear of Death rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
My wife suggested this audible book because I was in the process of talking with my father about his estate and plans after he passes away. He is a little uptight about the subject so she thought this book might make the conversation easier.
So, while this subject matter might be taboo, the author did a fantastic job making this an easy read. He gave many personal examples of real world scenarios that just make the material easier to digest. I found the sections around NDE (near death experiences) especially fascinating and as a result, I ended up reading other stories around the topic. The author also spoke in detail about how his parents death helped shaped the foundation of the book. Great, real stories that Helped me connect with him. I highly recommend this book.

Fascinating topic! I loved the book!
What a fascinating and informative account of people’s accounts of what’s beyond our physical reality. So much of the book resonated with me. Cannot wait to read Kelvin’s other books. Between the contents of the book and the author’s soothing voice, it’s a wonderful experience considering it’s such a tough subject. Left me waiting more.

A Unique Look at the Taboo Topic of Death
This excellent audio book will help most anyone to begin the discussion on a topic most people avoid until they are forced to, either by a life-threatening diagnosis or a friend or loved one's imminent death. The book takes a simple, yet thought provoking approach to help you to begin to contemplate your mortality...not from a religious point of view but from a broad yet novel cross-cultural view.
The end result is that the author helps you to look at this topic in a way that can help reduce your fears around this often taboo topic of death.
My own advice to others who are in a situation where they are wanting to support a friend or family member who is dying, is to keep your heart open and don't let fear interfere with your experience. Those who took this approach generally came away from the experience transformed by it.
Kelvin's book can help you prepare to have your own transforming experience.

I read the book and listened to it in the car...
I listened to the book on Audible and was very pleased with the sound quality and the volume of the author as he was reading it. Also, Kelvin has a very soothing and almost calming voice and the timbre of his voice is just perfect.
I would recommend this book to anyone really...that's what's so great about it. It's written in such a way that it can be applied for any death or dying situation. No matter what your faith or lack thereof, male or female, or any ethnicity will be able to take away something from this book that will help them with their unique experience with death and dying.
