Critic reviews

"Woody Allen once said, 'I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.' For those of us who will be there when it happens, Kelvin Chin is providing insight, caring support, and a warm life philosophy. A much needed book on more than fear, but of really living. (Pen Densham, Oscar-nominated filmmaker)

Love it

Love it, even my 9 year old understood it. It is eye opening, that I would like to translate it.

Good, but I missed more on atheism.

I think this book will not help much for people which are scared of oblivion (first theory). Other theories are also explored not deep enough...

Wonderful presentation of a difficult topic

Reading Kelvin's book helped guide me through grieving for all my lost family members. As the only survivor of my family I was carrying a heavy load, especially that a sibling could have gone to hell. The Four Belief systems help me examine my own feelings about a possible after life and my fear of the angry God from my childhood upbringing. Kelvin gently leads the reader by relating his own experiences and stories about death and beyond. His stories truly come alive when listening to his narration of his own book. His deep tone and calm demeanor is like a soothing balm. His storytelling style is both engaging and informative. I have been practicing Kelvin's meditation technique of "turning within" for several years. I wish I had discovered it and his message about death years ago when I was grieving so deeply. It has helped to expand my thoughts and stop scaring myself over things unknown so I can use that energy to enjoy life in the now. A very soothing and compassionate book that I recommend to everyone no matter where they are right now.

A great find!

Where does Overcoming the Fear of Death rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

My wife suggested this audible book because I was in the process of talking with my father about his estate and plans after he passes away. He is a little uptight about the subject so she thought this book might make the conversation easier.
So, while this subject matter might be taboo, the author did a fantastic job making this an easy read. He gave many personal examples of real world scenarios that just make the material easier to digest. I found the sections around NDE (near death experiences) especially fascinating and as a result, I ended up reading other stories around the topic. The author also spoke in detail about how his parents death helped shaped the foundation of the book. Great, real stories that Helped me connect with him. I highly recommend this book.
