About this listen
Mesmerized and somewhat unnerved by his 97-year-old father's vitality and optimism, David Shields undertakes an original investigation of our flesh-and-blood existence, our mortal being. Weaving together personal anecdote, biological fact, philosophical doubt, cultural criticism, and the wisdom of an eclectic range of writers and thinkers - from Lucretius to Woody Allen - Shields expertly renders both a hilarious family portrait and a truly resonant meditation on mortality.
A New York Times Bestseller in 2008, The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead, is an insightful, honest and uplifting portrait of what it means to be human, and one day to die.

Sundries of information and statistics about human body and death
Knowing more about death was not depressing. It was rather an encouraging and humbling experience.
