What the Deceased Tell Us About Living a Meaningful Life: A Study of 2,1000 Obituaries

“Don’t you want to be alive before you die?” Madam Manec ask a despondent Bazin in the book All the Light You Cannot See. He does not respond. 

The remarkable people portrayed in this research study without a doubt would answer this question with a resounding yes! Read carefully about these exceptional people who no longer live in this physical world with us. You will be different when you finish.

I completed The Obituary Project to help others live more meaningful lives by observing examples of extraordinary people who had lived meaningful lives. I read over 2,100 obituaries from two newspapers during a six-month period and collected information from 477 obituaries. Final results of the project was six examples of things these amazing people did to live meaningful lives.

When I started The Obituary Project I thought it would be a “downer” to read about people who recently passed on. Instead, the opposite occurred. It was inspiring. Every day when I read the obituaries, I felt uplifted from reading about their lives.

If you would like a copy of the full research report, you can download it by clicking on drmelwhitehurst.com and downloading The Obituary Project. There is no cost. I simply want to pass the information to as many people as possible.

Note:  If you download and read The Obituary Project I would appreciate any comments and insights that you have. Email: [email protected].
