Book
Natural causes : an epidemic of wellness, the certainty of dying, and killing ourselves to live longer / Barbara Ehrenreich.
From the bestselling author of 'Nickel and Dimed', comes an exploration of how we are killing ourselves to live longer, not better. Drawing on varied sources, from personal experience and sociological trends to pop culture and current scientific literature, this book examines the ways in which we obsess over death and tackles the seemingly unsolvable problem of how we might better prepare ourselves for the end.

Barbara Ehrenreich (1941-2022) was a bestselling author and political activist, whose more than a dozen books include Natural Causes, Living with a Wild God, the award winning essay collection Had I Known, and Nickel and Dimed, which the New York Times described as âa classic in social justice literature.â An award-winning journalist, she frequently contributed to Harper's, The Nation, The New York Times, and TIME magazine. Ehrenreich was born in Butte, Montana, when it was still a bustling mining town. She studied physics at Reed College and earned a Ph.D. in cell biology from Rockefeller University. Rather than going into laboratory work, she got involved in activism, and soon devoted herself to writing her innovative journalism.
