A Tibet House US Menla Conversation with Andy Chaleff – Ep. 345

In this episode Robert A.F. Thurman sits down with Andy Chaleff to dicuss his work and his book Dying to Live.   Andy Chaleff is the author of Dying to Live, a memoir that examines how our relationship to death shapes the way we live. At its core is a question: what becomes possible when we stop turning away from mortality?   The book draws from a defining moment in Andy’s life, when his mother was killed by a drunk driver shortly after receiving a final letter from him — an event that led to an ongoing exploration of loss, impermanence, and the nature of presence.   Through a blend of lived experience and reflection, Dying to Live offers a deeply personal inquiry into what it means to be fully alive.   www.andychaleff.com
