About this ebook

WHAT WORD COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH?

The truth is, everyone has a single word in mind when he or she thinks about the “Great Equalizer,” regardless of his or her spiritual bent, social position or moral viewpoint. Dying is like being at the airport waiting for your flight – and when the moment is right, you should peacefully and confidently catch your plane.
No muss, no fuss, no fear, no regrets...but pure bliss!.
This book airs unconventional yet reassuring guidance on what is widely viewed as one of the most momentous questions for mortal humans: How to cope with death? In a rational, unbiased and nonreligious way, the book offers a clear picture of decease, providing a supportive voice to millions of mourners and terminally ill people who adopt myriad approaches to grapple with the question of death, the process of dying, and the ancillary phenomena that revolve around mortality (survival, guilt, grief, loss, etc.)

>>> The book contains a helpful Discussion Guide. Through burning questions, the book gives extensive advice on how to use the discussion guide, how to inform decisions related to the topics at hand, and how to best read it – alone, in reading groups, with your partner, or as part of learning activities, among others.

>>> After reading this book, you will:
* Understand why it makes sense to fear death
* Grasp the true meaning of dying and know why you should never be scared of death
* Find effective and efficient ways to overcome thanatophobia, or the fear of death
* Know how to comfort the terminally ill
* Understand the best way to appease mourners

Author

Karma Peters

I wish to remain anonymous because the ideas I convey in my books are far more momentous than my humble person. Consider me nonexistent – a myth, a modicum of human folklore, a thinking iota in our collective wisdom.Just delve into my books, learn a thing or two...and, if you like the content, try to improve your life (and others’ lives). I don't aim to be a personal-growth guru, a healer, a celebrated self-help pundit, an attention-hungry author. In our publicity-obsessed culture, we don't need another such figure.I see life through the lens of passion and compassion; promise and compromise; happiness; and unwearied altruism, the kind you project when you stare at a newborn and know right away that only you can help him or her fulfill the untapped, God-given potential each of us has.We have that inner passion – so why not use it, enhance it, modify it, channel it while we are here on Earth? As an author, philosopher and life coach, I write books that inspire, motivate and teach you how to reconnect with your inner energy and ignite your outer potential.In an earlier life, I learned the ropes of financial management, organizational effectiveness, strategy, marketing and investment banking, first earning an MBA in Finance at Rutgers University and then working in various roles in the financial-services industry in New York and New Jersey. These positions ultimately enabled me to see how infinite goodness manifests itself in humans, producing pure bliss in unexpected moments and places – and how, unfortunately, sometimes our worst angels lead us to blaze unfortunate and troublesome paths for ourselves and others.These days, I wake up each morning to the sweet, hopeful music of life, and sleep to the adorable, buoyant melody of tomorrow – living one day at the time, enjoying simple moments, appreciating the chance to exist, and feeling grateful for the serendipity of human love.

    Résumé

    This book attempts, in a clear and straightforward way, to unwind the convoluted psychological and emotional structures that surround the concepts of death and dying.

    It subtly tries to turn death – which most humans consider a loss, the end or an existential debacle, among other things – into an existential boon, something to look out for when the time to go is near.

    When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go, says the older, religiously inclined generation in Louisiana and some parts of Southern Georgia.

    The Bliss in Death covers the subject of death in six different parts, helping you understand how to go peacefully when it is your time to go.

    First, it explains why dreading the Big Equalizer makes sense, showing how humans try to maneuver around death throughout their lives.

    Second, the book explains why people should not be scared of death, providing tips and guidance everyone can implement on a daily basis.

    The third section of the book helps readers grasp the best, time-proven ways to overcome the fear of death.

    Fourth, the book gives insight into the power of empathy and sympathy, providing tips on how to comfort the terminally ill.

    Delving into the best practices occurring in the health care industry and ancillary sectors as well as into time-proven techniques and affirmations in the spiritual and alternative-healing realms, the book shows, in its fifth section, how to effectively comfort mourners and those on the verge of losing a loved one.

    Finally, The Bliss in Death closes this conversation on decease with a message of hope and optimism, telling readers which side of the life barricades they should stand on as they chart a better course for their respective destinies.

    This book is part of a series, "The Wheel of Wisdom," in which I explore topics as varied as love and romance, self-esteem, occupational success, personal bliss, effective communication, fear management, human relationships and spirituality.

    The Wheel of Wisdom reflects knowledge I accumulated through personal research, wisdom literature, everyday observation and the testimonies of hundreds of people encountered on my life journey – young and old, novice and experienced, religious and agnostic, optimistic and gloomy.

    Like each book in the Series, I’ve made this tome a quick read, easy to understand and filled with as many inspirational jewels as possible.

    I hope you will find it as pleasurable to read as it was for me to write.

    *Important*

    Readers have sent me considerable correspondence lately – most of which revolved around a few recurrent themes – so I thought it was more effective to write a quick note to clear up lots of queries about Karma Peters’ books.

    The vast majority of the emails and letters is inquisitive and supportive – thank you, beloved readers! – but a few are outright condemnatory.

    Time permitting, I’ll continue to personally answer each email or letter I receive from a reader.

    However, this little recap aims to address some of the questions, concerns and brickbats I’ve seen in reviews, private correspondence, blogs and public forums.

    Let me introduce you to my 5Cs, a collection of short references to help you better understand this book – and my other books.

    The 5Cs sum up my life vision, explain my writing style and will effectively help you set your expectations as a reader.

    1. Conversation

    Each of my books is a conversation – call it couch conversation if you like. My writing style is conversational, not a Harvard lecture or Ph.D. dissertation replete with statistics and intellectual esotericism.

    I write as I talk, and talk as I write. I cover subjects that are inherently complex and serious, but do so in a simple, straightforward way. I don’t dumb down the discourse, and neither do I think my readers are children or cerebrally challenged adults
