Uncommon Sense: Dr Hannah Gould on Dying in the 21st Century

Cultural anthropologist and death studies scholar Dr Hannah Gould joins Amy to discuss her new book, 'How To Die in the 21st Century: A Whole New Way To Talk About Death'. The book has been described as "the most comforting book about death you'll ever read."

In today's world, where death can be viewed as a 'taboo', Hannah's book is a compassionate, practical and hopeful handbook for death in the 21st century.

'How To Die in the 21st Century: A Whole New Way To Talk About Death' is out now via Thames & Hudson. More infomation can be found here.
