Being Mortal Book Group
A Year to Live
by Stephen Levine
Saturday, March 11
3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
(postponed from February)
A book group was formed to talk about the difficult issues
of aging and end-of-life.
The book for this month is
A Year to Live
by Stephen Levine, who
teaches us how to live each day mindfully - as if it were all that was left. On his deathbed, Socrates exhorted his followers to "practice dying as the highest form of wisdom". Levine decided to live this way himself for a whole year, and now he shares with us how such practice radically changes our view of the world and forces us to examine our priorities. Levine provides us with a year-long program of intensely practical strategies and powerful guided meditations to help with this work.
Copies of the book are available to borrow at the
Circulation Desk.
No registration is required.
