About this title

Synopsis

Living Our Dying is a beautiful, compassionate work about enriching our daily lives by being more mindful of what we say and do, and, most of all, by maintaining a sensitive awareness that our time on earth is indeed limited. Guided by a strong belief that repressing thoughts of death makes living less vital and that coming to terms with our dying enables us to live more fully and exuberantly, Joseph Sharp teaches the extraordinary lesson of the cultivation of life's preciousness through an awareness of death.
In order to embrace our spiritual journey and become more spiritually aware, we must embrace our dying. Through an integration of powerful Christian, Buddhist, and contemporary cultural and psychological insights, as well as the use of illuminating exercises for readers, Sharp elevates us to a higher level of conscious living by making us aware of the fact that we will die - an awakening he describes as "a crack in the egoic egg, a conscious beginning of a journey that, in truth, began long ago."
Replete with poems, prayers, moving quotations, and personal experiences, Living Our Dying is an immensely inspiring book for those who want to experience life more fully, vividly, and joyfully - at any stage of living.
