About the Book
Talk with Death: A Practical Guide to Mortality Partnership teaches you how to transform your relationship with Death from terror to partnership.
This isn't positive thinking. It's not about "beating" death or finding silver linings. It's a practical methodology for establishing Death as an advisor—a felt presence you can actually speak with.
The book covers:
- Why traditional approaches to death anxiety don't work
- The emotional discharge process (clearing rage, fear, grief)
- How to establish Death as a conversational partner
- Distinguishing performance from authentic values
- Daily practice for maintaining the relationship
- Case studies and examples from real practitioners
Your feedback will help ensure this methodology reaches people in a form they can actually use.

That's it. Just highlight and react as you read. You can also add comments to explain your reaction. Your collective feedback shows me exactly where the book works and where it needs revision.

About the Author
I'm Benjamin Dives. In 2021 I was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. The inspirational advice I received was useless. So I developed my own methodology for engaging with Death—not as an enemy to fight, but as an advisor to learn from.
This book is that methodology, made accessible to anyone facing mortality (which is everyone, eventually).
