  abstract: 'He who would teach men to die would teach them to live,' writes Montaigne in Essais, and in How to Die, Ray Robertson takes up the challenge, arguing that the active and intentional consideration of death is essential to our ability to value life. An absorbing excursion through some of Western literature's most compelling works on the subject of death and a self-help book for people who hate self-help, How to Die is an anecdote-driven argument for cultivating a better understanding of death in the belief that, if we do, we'll know more about what it means to live meaningfully.
