In this episode, Kevin had the opportunity to talk with Hasna Bergwall, the co-founder of the WeCroak app that encourages people to lead happier lives by thinking about death five times a day. 1.WeCroak is a smartphone app based on the Bhutanese principle that to live a happy life; one must meditate on one's own death five times a day 2. Because after all, we're all going to die. No one gets out of this alive. 3. Life is short and precious, rare and special, and we want to use it well. 4. They mentioned what they love about death; it is universal because we're all going to die. 5. A quote about death from Epictetus, “I cannot escape death, but at least I can escape the fear of it.” 6. One of the things, both Buddhism and stoicism, is an absolute agreement on the danger of anger, just like creating delusions.
