About this listen
In this episode of the Dewdrop Dialogues, I had the pleasure of speaking with author Andy Chaleff about his latest book, "Dying to Live."
We explored the shadowy and rewarding themes of death and the fear of mortality, discussing how these experiences have shaped our lives. Andy shared personal stories and insights from his journey, and we delved into cultural perspectives on death and the transformative power of facing our deepest fears.
This conversation was a thoughtful exploration of life's ultimate certainty and the liberation that can come from embracing it.
Andy's book, Dying to Live is published by Meaningful Relations.
You can also check it out on The Dewdrop's Bookshop page.
