Why people recommend it
Die Wise by Stephen Jenkinson is a profound exploration of mortality and how cultural attitudes toward dying shape the way people live. On The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, Mo Gawdat discussed the book during an emergency episode on artificial intelligence released on June 1, 2023. Gawdat noted that Jenkinson had spent thirty years working directly with dying individuals before writing the text. Expressing deep admiration for Jenkinson's insights, Gawdat explained that he specifically asked the author about the principles within Die Wise. During their conversation, it became clear that the wisdom contained in the book extends far beyond the literal experience of someone passing away. Instead, it offers a broader philosophical framework regarding how individuals confront reality, accept truths, and navigate the difficult aspects of human existence. Gawdat brought up the book to illustrate these deeper existential concepts to the audience, emphasizing the weight and significance of Jenkinson's life work and his unique perspective on mortality. Through this mention, the podcast highlighted the importance of engaging honestly with life's ultimate limitations rather than shying away from them.
