Karen Salmansohn: Your To-Die-For Life
Best-selling author and behavior change expert Karen Salmansohn shares how mortality awareness can be one of the most powerful motivators for living with purpose. She explains her concept of a “near-life experience,” when people go through the motions instead of fully engaging in their lives, and how to break free from it. Karen offers practical tools—like writing your aspirational eulogy and linking core values to habits—that help listeners live with urgency and authenticity. Her upcoming book, Your To-Die-For Life, blends humor, science, and philosophy to guide readers toward more meaningful, regret-free living.
