Description
Want to make sure you’re not just alive . . . but truly living? Start by contemplating your own death.
Wondering what a life well-lived looks like? Eager to live a life that’s richer, bolder, and more unapologetically YOU? Then it’s time to stop running from the truth that your life is finite—and start facing your mortality head-on.
Because nothing will motivate you to seize the day more than realizing your days are numbered.
Karen Salmansohn, bestselling author of How to Be Happy, Dammit and a leading behavioural change expert, went on her own “I’m-going-to-die” journey. And it made her life better. Way better. So she began sharing these tools with her clients, and their lives also began to bloom in amazing ways.
Science backs up the perks of mortality awareness. Studies show that when you embrace the fact that your time is limited, you stop wasting energy on nonsense—and start making choices that align with your deepest values.
In Your To-Die-For Life, Salmansohn shares a wide range of practical, research-based tools to help you dismantle your fears and step into the life you were meant to live. You’ll discover how to:
- Write your own eulogy: Sounds a little dark, right? But it's actually a genius way to reverse-engineer the life you want.
- Create a “to-die” list: Think of this as a “what matters most” list. You’ll learn how to better focus on what truly makes you come alive—and build simple micro-habits to bring more of that into your everyday life.
- Do a life audit: Let go of the clutter that’s draining your time, energy, and attention.
Your To-Die-For Life is packed with a range of eye-opening studies, inspiring philosophical truths, and Salmansohn’s signature cheeky humour. She’ll make you laugh, she’ll make you think, and she’ll make you want to stop wasting time on things that don’t light you up.

About the Author
Karen Salmansohn is a bestselling author (with 2 million books and courses sold), leading behavioral change expert, and columnist for Oprah and Psychology Today, as well as the founder of the popular personal development site NotSalmon.com, which has a vibrant community of 1.5 million followers. She’s been sparking transformations in individuals and companies for a few decades and is passionate about digging deep and finding fascinating insights, tools, and studies from all areas of life, including psychology, Eastern and Western philosophy, neuroscience, quantum physics, and more.
She began writing “self-help for people who wouldn’t be caught dead doing self help” in 1999 with the bestseller How To Be Happy Dammit—the very first personal development book of its kind to have a feisty title, edgy humor, and stylish interior design, which paved the way for self-help authors to write irreverent personal development books. Since then, she’s written many bestsellers, including The Bounce Back Book and Think Happy. Now she’s excited to pioneer the mortality awareness movement by illuminating life’s most avoided conversation—death—and reminding others to live more bravely.
