In this episode Robert A.F. Thurman sits down with Andy Chaleff to dicuss his work and his book Dying to Live.   Andy Chaleff is the author of Dying to Live, a memoir that examines how our relationship to death shapes the way we live. At its core is a question: what becomes possible when we stop turning away from mortality?   The book draws from a defining moment in Andy’s life, when his mother was killed by a drunk driver shortly after receiving a final letter from him — an event that led to an ongoing exploration of loss, impermanence, and the nature of presence.   Through a blend of lived experience and reflection, Dying to Live offers a deeply personal inquiry into what it means to be fully alive.   www.andychaleff.com
