We Croak: a Return to Joy

In a March 14, 2018, interview on the “10% Happier Podcast,” Hansa Bergwall talked with Dan Harris about the new cell phone application that he and a friend created. The App is designed to send out a reminder notice five times a day. If you purchase and install it for $0.99, a box will periodically pop up on your cell phone screen saying, “Remember, you are going to die.” You have the option to click on the box for a quote from one of many different traditions on the subject of dying. Here is a sample quote from the App:

If I take death into my life, acknowledge it and face it squarely,

I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life –

And only then will I be free…

Martin Heidegger [WECROAK App]
