From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death
by Caitlin Doughty
You may be someone who experiences real fear and anxiety around death, but you are here. Just like the people you are about to meet, you have shown up.
This is a strong, readable, insightful book about death, the messed-up realities of the funeral industries, and the burial traditions around the world that we may find more unusual. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and it does it well.
The book reads entirely in the author's voice, and unlike other YouTube creators who have attempted books (both non-fiction and fiction), this is an entirely good thing. The read is simultaneously soothing, quirky, witty, and entirely eye-opening. Caitlin Doughty communicates with a combination of humour, intellectual curiosity, and complete empathy that is entirely her own, and it translates beautifully to the written word.
