In this episode of ReWild Yourself! podcast, I have a fascinating conversation with Stephen Cave — author of internationally acclaimed book "Immortality: The Quest to Live Forever and How It Drives Civilization" — about death and why we fear it. He elaborates on the "4 stories we tell ourselves about death" from his popular TED talk. Episode Breakdown: * First experiences with death * Other species' relationship to death * Immortality projects * The "elixir" story * The "resurrection" story * The "soul" story * Science and the immortality quest * The "legacy" story * How to cope with death denial * Stephen's thoughts on the "zombie apocalypse" heroism over death * What it's like to work in the death field * Stephen's new projects
