Your To-Die-For Life : How to Maximize Joy and Minimize Regret... Before Your Time Runs Out

Want to make sure you’re not just alive . . . but truly living? Start by contemplating your own death.

Wondering what a life well-lived looks like? Eager to live a life that’s richer, bolder, and more unapologetically YOU? Then it’s time to stop running from the truth that your life is finite—and start facing your mortality head-on.

Because nothing will motivate you to seize the day . . . more than realizing your days are numbered.

Karen Salmansohn, bestselling author of How to Be Happy, Dammit and a leading behavioral change expert went on her own “I’m-going-to-die” journey. And it made her life better. Way better. So she began sharing these tools with her clients, and their lives also began to bloom in amazing ways.

Science backs up the perks of mortality awareness. Studies show that when you embrace the fact that your time is limited, you stop wasting energy on nonsense—and start making choices that align with your deepest values.

In Your To-Die-For Life, Salmansohn shares a wide range of practical, research-based tools—to help you to dismantle your fears—and step into the life you were meant to live. You’ll discover how to:

• Write your own eulogy: Sounds a little dark, right? But it''s actually a genius way to reverse-engineer the life you want.
• Create a “to-die” list: Think of this as a “what matters most” list. You’ll learn how to better focus on what truly makes you come alive—and build simple micro-habits to bring more of that into your everyday life.
• Do a life audit: Let go of the clutter that’s draining your time, energy and attention.

Your To-Die-For Life is packed with a range of eye-opening studies, inspiring philosophical truths, and Salmansohn’s signature cheeky humor. She’ll make you laugh, she’ll make you think, and she’ll make you want to stop wasting time on things that don’t light you up.
