  • Summary

  • What if thinking about death could actually make life richer?

    In this episode of Project I Am, we explore the ancient wisdom of Memento Mori—Latin for “Remember that you must die”—and why this seemingly morbid concept has inspired philosophers, artists, and even modern psychologists to embrace life more fully.

    From the Stoics of ancient Rome to medieval monks who greeted each other with Memento Mori, we uncover the surprising ways people throughout history have used death as a tool for clarity, gratitude, and purpose. We also dive into recent psychological studies that show how contemplating mortality can reduce anxiety and increase happiness.

    Instead of fearing death, what if we embraced it as the ultimate motivator? Tune in and discover how remembering death can help you live with greater clarity, intention, and joy.
