Description
"You cannot pursue greatness and comfort at the same time . . . How do you
set in motion a course of action that will allow you to unleash your best,
most valuable work while you still can?"
—Todd Henry, Die Empty: Unleash Your Best Work Every Day
Many people want to avoid thinking about death, let alone talking about
it—not to mention writing a book on the subject. Not Todd Henry. True to
the concept of memento mori, reflecting on death to be more present and
grateful in life, Todd believes contemplating death helps us fully explore
and realize our creative gifts. I absolutely loved this conversation and
Todd's thoughts on how to "die empty" without feeling pressure to do it
all; how to minimize minutiae and pursue great work while also riding out
natural dips in creativity, transition, or clarity.
