The Man Who Was Scared to Death: Living with the Fear of Non-Existence
In this episode I have a chat with Phillip Othen, a London-based podcaster who has thought about death and non-existence daily since his early teens. Phillip shares how insomnia sparked a lifelong fear of not existing, how he channels that anxiety into his podcast "The Man Who Was Scared to Death", and how therapy and coping strategies have shaped his life.
The conversation explores Death Cafés, a movement all around the world, interviews with people who work around death, and whether talking openly about mortality can make the subject less frightening and more constructive.
