The Time You Have

The Stoic Practice of Memento Mori and Letting Death Teach You to Live

Memento mori — “remember you will die” — and feel more alive for it.

You have seen the words — memento mori, remember you will die — on a coin, a skull, a tattoo. And you probably flinched, because it sounds morbid. Who wants to spend their one life dwelling on the end of it?

That is as much as we are saying for now. The Time You Have is finished, edited, and in production — one idea at full depth, in the same shape as the rest of the series.

The whole of memento mori is explained on this site — including the misreadings and the place it reaches its limit. If the explainer is useful, the book is the same thing at depth.
