Dean Rickles is a professor of history and philosophy of modern physics at the University of Sydney. He says he has extreme death anxiety, which would keep him up at night. His book Life is Short shows how it's essential that you have this fairly finite span of life in order to have a meaningful life. "I'm personally not a huge fan of this whole dying thing"
Life without death, says philosopher Dean Rickles, is like playing tennis without a net. In his new book, “Life Is Short: An Appropriately Brief Guide to Making It More Meaningful,” Dean challenges us to rethink what it means to get the most out of each day.
