Book Review Of Heideggar And Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates - By Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein

 This is an uproarious and non-fictional book genre, which simply explores life, death, the afterlife, and everything in between. The book starts with a few people taking a survey. This book emphasizes that death is one of the immutable facts of human life. Although humans are the only creatures that imagined living forever & comprehend that we are going to die someday. 

While I was reading this book, there is this quote that inspires me a lot: “Live so that you may desire to live the same life again & not only once but an infinite number of times.” Quoted by Friedrick Nietzsche. 

While I was reading this beauty, I have witnessed so many human lives being ended in front of my eyes, which makes me question human life, their ambitions, and beliefs. The Author has comparatively used philosophy and jokes, which becomes bread and butter for the readers.😋😁

#Qotd - What is the Most Special Day of Your Life that you would like to live Twice?Comment Below. 

Sigmund Freud defines that humans created the illusions of god & religion to defend themselves from the fear of death. Heidegger also said that anxiety of anticipating death, Contrary to interfering with life, brings an “Unshakeable Joy”. He ultimately believes that the worst thing would be when our souls are immortal. Even according to Indian mythology, People do believe that the soul never dies. It transfers through various forms of bodies. The father of the Indian Nation Mahatma Gandhi had put that “Live as if you were Going to Die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever”

This book propagates that the so-called immortality comes from being remembered by our Survivors. We leave mini-marks behind us. Thus, we can expect some embedded memories in people’s minds and hearts when we reach to piece of eternity. 

The philosophers in this book also unfold some philosophical takes on eternity. They stated that eternity is not coming after death when we thought it was. In Fact,  I am overwhelmingly impressed with the Philosophical work in this book and I think Philosophers are the actual truth seekers. 

Eventually, death is nothing more than a dreadful prospect, the worst possible cheat imaginable. But death is final and it sucks! 

Furthermore, the terminology is “heaven” is described as a landscape to die for/or Our afterlife after death. Heaven as a final destination after death. Even the title of the book “Heidegger and Hippo walk Through Those Pearly Gates” indicates heaven’s gate. 

So, Heidegger and Hippo stroll up to the pearly gates. Conclusively, This book profounds the exploration of life, the afterlife, and death, etc.

Thanks for Reading!!!
