Proof of a ground-breaking psychological theory: that the fear of death is the hidden motive behind almost everything we do.

''Provocative, lucid and fascinating'' Financial Times

''An important, superbly readable and potentially life-changing book . . . suggests one should confront mortality in order to live an authentic life'' Tim Lott, Guardian
