Professor Explains How Humans Cope With Fear of Death

Professor Yoram Yovell, a psychiatrist, explains that humans' unique understanding of their own mortality drives much of their behavior and coping mechanisms. Throughout history, from ancient philosophers to modern figures, people have sought ways to deal with the fear of death, with religion offering comfort through narratives of an afterlife. Yovell, however, finds no scientific evidence for consciousness after death and suggests focusing on present actions and contributing to the world as a practical way to find meaning.
