When Death Became a Teacher
A 16th-century French nobleman once sat at parties consumed by terror, unable to enjoy the music and laughter around him because he couldn't stop thinking about death. Michel de Montaigne wasn't always the wise philosopher we celebrate today. In his youth, he tried following the Stoics, constantly visualizing his own demise to conquer his fear. It backfired spectacularly, trapping him in endless anxiety. Then came the riding accident that changed everything. Thrown from his horse and knocked unconscious, Montaigne experienced something extraordinary-he watched himself seemingly dying with curious detachment, like an observer at his own funeral. When he awoke, bruised but alive, he discovered a paradox: death itself wasn't frightening. The anticipation was. This revelation sparked a midlife crisis that would birth one of history's most influential works. At thirty-eight, Montaigne retreated to his tower library, surrounded by a thousand books and Latin inscriptions, and began writing what became the Essays-a revolutionary exploration of how to live well that still resonates four centuries later, captivating everyone from Shakespeare to modern tech titans.
