How many Mondays do you have left?
Does that question send you into a panic spiral, or are you convinced that, unlike everyone in the history of life on earth, you will somehow avoid the tragic end and live to tell the tale?
Statistically, we get about 4,000 Mondays in our lifetime, so if you're halfway through your life, you might have roughly 2,000 Mondays to go.
The good news is that you are in charge of how you spend those days: you can toil away at a job you hate, or create a career you love. You can scroll mindlessly for hours a day, or pursue the hobbies and travel that light you up. You can spend your days dreading the end, or live a full life that allows you to greet the Grim Reaper with a smile.
You Only Die Once is a real-life guide to small changes that will reawaken your passion and curiosity for life. Packed with inspiring stories, charming illustrations, exercises, quizzes, quotes, and a step-by-step plan to awaken the liveliest version of you, You Only Die Once is the healthy dose of mortality you need to start living with urgency and meaning.
