From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty
5.0
This books does successfully what it sets out to do:
1) Sensitizes us to all cultures and their perception of death and it’s role in society;
2) Shows us not to label death practices different to our own as disrespectful, and therefore to always be respectful (looking at you, nasty tourists);
3) Encourages us to look at death with alternative lenses to what we are used to and what we have been “trained” to see;
4) Not to be afraid of death and what it involves — even to embrace death, as it is an integral part of life, but also an integral part of healing and “being held” as the author describes it.
Fantastic book, a really enlightening read.
