Soaring Beyond self: Therapy for the Fears of Dying

    In Soaring Beyond self insights of modern psychology, death education and neuroscience are complemented by remarkable spiritual passages. Of the latter, ancient philosophical wisdom about a state of consciousness which never dies is highlighted. Memorable and famous personages pop in to enthrall. The Divine Sarah. The young author who teaches us to fall. "The most powerful woman in the British Empire" whose bust needs dusting.
    Endnotes fascinate. Text incorporated from Barry's first book, Otherwise Fine, addresses letting go of the physical frame as well as the mid-life anxiety of unfulfilled potentials and inauthentic lives.
