How To Die Happy: Curated wisdom, stories, and utilities, for the art of living

How can you achieve long-lasting happiness? Or transform your relationship with fear, death, or grief? What is happiness anyway? “This madman has found a way to weave such wisdom into a tapestry of interconnected insight and understanding. The result is a charming and witty guide to attaining happiness that is both heartfelt and funny.”— Lee Holden, founder of Holden Qi Gong Exploring themes around life “in the Matrix”, depression, consumption, distraction, and “success”, How To Die Happy examines why many of us feel robbed of this much sought-after prize. More importantly, it’s a guide to happiness.

Former high-functioning alcoholic adman Martin O’Toole once lived a wild life of excess, oblivious of how his traumatic childhood had profoundly impaired his emotional maturation. A near-suicidal event was just the beginning of his learning about mental health’s complexities. Leaving the hectic pace of London for the contrasting peace of Bali, O’Toole set out to heal his various neuroses. This work led to discovering what he refers to as the “Anatomy of Happy” — detailed in this book.

Cherry-picking Eastern philosophies like Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, introducing mindfulness, psychological practices, and tales of the miraculous healing power of psychedelic plants, How To Die Happy distils the secrets to living and dying well, documented by a “man on the mend”.

How To Die Happy tackles the root causes of depression and dissatisfaction. Part curated wisdom, part handbook, part memoir, this inspirational text offers a blend of ancient lessons, real-life stories, and a host of practical utilities to enjoy a vibrant and contented life.

Today, we face material distractions at every turn. This book offers meaningful concepts to help you find inner peace and happiness in a world that needs it more than ever.
