Your To Die For life

Explore what it means to enjoy a well-lived life! Start by contemplating your own death.

When you embrace the undeniable fact that you’re not gonna be here forever suddenly every decision, relationship & leap - is infused with more bravery,  urgency &  passion. And so this book is for the procrastinators, the dreamers, the “someday” sayers - who want to become “today doers.” It’s for anyone who’s ever paused and pondered, "Is this it?" Whether you’re in a mid-life reassessment or a young person hungry for a more meaningful existence, this book is your roadmap to living more bravely, authentically, beautifully.

Why you need this book...

Let’s be honest, most of us need a little nudge (or a full-on push) out of complacency. “Your To-Die-For Life” doesn’t just nudge. It captivates, it entertains, and it slaps you with the truth: You’re doing this whole life life thing with an expiration date. And yes, we’re all going to die. But the real tragedy? Living a life that’s less than you desire and deserve.

“Your To-Die-For Life” is part wake-up call, part manifesto, part loving nudge… and part permission slip to go bravely live your best life.

This book will help you to make sure you spend your finite time on what matters most…. so when the end comes, you’ll know in your heart that you’ve lived a life that’s truly to-die-for.

Because in the end, we’re all just stories waiting to be told. And wouldn’t it be nice if your story was a good one?

Below are 6 ways your embracing your impermanence will improve your life.

1. The Motivation Booster

When you finally realize the clock isn't just ticking but might actually run out of batteries, procrastination turns into action. It’s like death is the ultimate project manager standing over your shoulder, clipboard in hand, saying, “Hey, let’s move it along, buddy.” Wanna travel? Write that book? Make up with your sister? Time’s not just flying. It’s on a supersonic jet.

2. The BS Filter

When you embrace the finite nature of your life, suddenly, all the crap fades into the background. Mortality is like having the best filter where only the good stuff—friends, family, passion projects—gets through. You know those petty squabbles and the envy you feel scrolling through Instagram at 2 a.m.? Turns out, they're just noise. Death gives you noise-canceling headphones.

3. The Depth Re-Charger

Knowing that you don't have forever makes you want to ditch small talk for real talk. It’s like upgrading from shallow chitchats to deep, soul-baring conversations that you will remember ten years from now, because who knows how many ten years you’ve got left?

4. The Beauty Amplifier

Once you make peace with life's impermanence, even small moments can seem monumental. That Monday morning coffee tastes like the elixir of the gods, and a random smile from a stranger can make your day. Life in HD? More like life in 4K Ultra HD.

5. The Authenticity Maker

Mortality is the ultimate truth serum. It strips away facades and pushes you to just be yourself. Why waste time being anyone else? You start living out loud, quirks and all. Because in the grand scheme, who cares if you’re a little weird? In fact, the more you embrace your weirdness, the happier you'll be.

6. The Fear Slayer

When you're friends with the idea of death, what’s left to be scared of? Taking risks doesn't seem so daunting anymore. Starting a new career, moving to a new city, telling someone how you really feel—suddenly, the fear of rejection or failure pales in comparison to the fear of never trying at all.

Robin Gorman Newman  | Tony Award Winning Broadway Producer & Author, How to Marry a Mensch

Ideally we all want to live a life without regret, but the process to get there and maintain that involves incredible self-growth, focus, and the ability to share our purpose with others.  Your To Die For Life teaches us all the values to live with and by NOW so when we have shuffled off this mortal coil we know those around us shared in that purpose and joy when it mattered the most.

David Homan  | CEO of Orchestrated Connecting.

“Life isn’t meant to be endured - it’s meant to be savored, celebrated, and occasionally turned upside down just to see what falls out of its pockets. Your To Die For Life will help you to do just that! Through powerful practices and insightful perspectives on your mortality, you’ll learn to create a life that feels less like a should-do list and more like a love letter to yourself.“
