Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty

4.0

While there’s a voyeuristic “tell all” element to keep it interesting, my main takeaway from this book was a realization that as a culture we need to get more comfortable with death. We are scared of what we’ve never seen or experienced, and the cultural practices we’ve adopted have taken us farther from reality - and instead of protecting us it only makes us fear it more.
