Review: How to Not Die Alone

Life has a 100 percent mortality rate. Every single one of us will die, and most of us have no idea how or when that will happen. In fact, as each second passes, we’re all in the process of coming closer to our eventual deaths. As the saying goes, none of us will get out of here alive.

Finally, I could see how what happened to me could prove beneficial for the greater good of all, because people cannot truly live up to their greatest potential if they are wasting their energy on the fear of death.

We should at all points spare ourselves the burden of loneliness. We are far from the only ones to be suffering. Everyone is more anxious than they are inclined to tell us. Even the tycoon and the couple in love are in pain. We have collectively failed to admit to ourselves how much anxiety is our default state.

It is rare to get through this life without feeling – generally with a degree of secret agony, perhaps at the end of a relationship, or as we lie in bed frustrated next to our partner, unable to go to sleep – that we are somehow a bit odd about sex.

A great way to soothe this anxiety is to look at dating as a scientific experiment. Instead of interacting with women hoping you don’t get rejected, try interacting with them and experimenting with what seems to effectively get their attention and what doesn’t. Don’t worry about outcomes. Be a good scientist. Just observe responses.
