Last Minute Sales & Specials

Buddhist teacher Judith Lief shows us that by honestly contemplating death and using mindfulness practice, we can change how we relate to death, enhance our appreciation of everyday life, and open ourselves to others. Lief draws her inspiration from The Tibetan Book of the Dead and offers a series of guidelines to help us reconnect with dying persons, whether they are friends or family, clients or patients.

Lief highlights the value of relating to the immediacy of death as an ongoing aspect of everyday life. She offers readers a variety of practical methods that they can apply to their lives and work. These methods include:
-- Simple mindfulness exercises for deepening awareness of moment-by-moment change
-- Practices for cultivating loving-kindness
-- Helpful slogans and guidelines for caregivers to use

Making Friends with Death will be useful to anyone interested in coming to terms with their own mortality. The book also offers useful guidance and inspiration to health professionals, students of death and dying, and people who are helping a dying friend or relative.
