Against Death by Prentice Mulford is a philosophical work that invites readers to reflect deeply on life and the unfolding of consciousness. Mulford masterfully presents forgotten truths and insights about human existence, showing that it is often our habits and ignoring the small, mundane things that contribute to feelings of burnout and dissatisfaction. The author provides inspiring advice on how to analyze everyday experiences to take away lessons that can improve the quality of life. Mulford played a key role in the development of a popular philosophical current called New Thought. His books were read all over the world wherever ideals close to the American belief of man's influence over his own destiny were alive.
