Mortality Muse – A Guide to Living Fully Now

The Mortality Muse by Melanie Mayell, host of the Christchurch Death Cafe, is an upbeat, practical workbook that uses death awareness as a lens for appreciating life; reflecting on the journey so far, savouring what remains, and returning to the present with renewed clarity and purpose.

It’s designed for people who are at a crossroads, shifting from one life stage into another, or who simply want some honest reflection and fresh inspiration.

Work through the three-part process at your own pace:

• Look Back — Find the glimmers, and distil what you’ve learned into an ‘Essential Me’ page.
• Look Forward — Face life’s inevitable end, and measure it against what you truly want between now and then.
• Live Fully Now — Return to the present with new clarity. Feel inspired to make what matters most a priority.
