The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners: A Guide to Living and Dying | 
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm not familiar with Buddhism, but my dad has a philosophical interest in it. On a whim, I picked this up from the "New Nonfiction" section at my library. It's super short and, as it turns out, very accessible. Also respectful to whatever belief system you may already have. There are sections about helping you deal with the death of a loved one, but most of the book is about is about your time living. "How you live is how you die." ⬇️
steph_phanie CONT'D: I found it to be pretty inspirational. I enjoyed the explanation of karma, "grasping," compassion, interconnectedness, and how to generally live a more peaceful and content life. Whether or not you believe in the afterlife or rebirth, it's hard to argue against living a life that is good for both yourself and others, and striving to avoid harm. And cultivating peace for yourself and loved ones as death nears. Recommend!! 8mo
