Why are we afraid of dying and death? And how can we overcome this fear? This book seeks answers to these questions, engaging its readers intensely in the search. There are no definitive answers, as this quest is a task that every person faces throughout their life. However, a way out of fear becomes apparent: even though we only die once, we have the opportunity to learn to die while we are alive. Those who succeed in this overcome the fear of dying and death and are free: "He who has learned to die has unlearned to be a slave" (Seneca in the 26th letter to Lucilius).
