Memento Mori by Joanna Ebenstein explores the concept of death contemplation as a means to enrich life. The book delves into historical and cultural practices surrounding death and argues for the importance of accepting mortality to live more fully. Ebenstein presents death as a natural part of life that, when acknowledged, can lead to wisdom, reduced fear, and a more meaningful existence. The text challenges contemporary Western views that treat death as a taboo subject and instead offers a perspective where facing mortality can bring joy and purpose. The book is intended for a broad audience interested in philosophical and practical approaches to understanding and accepting death.
