Includes bibliographical references.
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.
