Book Description: 
The two certainties of life are death and taxes - yet few of us know how to prepare for the former. In a world spiralling into chaos over the viral pandemic, how do we face the greatest but eternal challenge of our lives, our own fear of mortality? Nine Rules to Conquer Death provides the answer. The wisdom of ancients from the Aztecs to the Iliad and the proud tradition of Irish wakes throw into sharp relief the doleful state of the modern British crematorium. Kevin Toolis distils insights drawn from millennia of human experience into a profound and punchy guide to dying - and living - well. What are the benefits of seeing a corpse? Why is life miserable if we don't die? Nine Rules up-ends every presumption we hold about death to help us beat it, not run from it. This is a guidebook like no other in this time of desperate fear.
