"The mystery of death has, for millennia, led us to ask the big, existential questions: why are we here? What is the meaning of life? Why do we die? What happens after we die? What is the point of existence?" – @JoannaEbenstein in @guardian theguardian.com/wellness/202…

In my new @TarcherPerigee book Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life, I discuss the vanitas, an art genre expressing the idea that earthly triumphs are meaningless in the face of death.

Tête de mort (or “death’s head”) postcard, a popular early 20th century novelty that cleverly illustrates the old adage that when we are in midst of life, we are also in death.
