A guided meditation on human extinction that imagines a post-apocalyptic Earth thriving without us.

Adopting the role of a death doula or New Age religious leader, and drawing inspiration from the Theater of the Absurd, author Yearous-Algozin prompts readers to accept the already occurring end time.

A Feeling Called Heaven oscillates between grief and humor as it imagines the nonhuman world that will grow from the ruins of this one, cultivating a sense of presence and intimacy with the inevitable destruction of our global environment.

Through a series of imaginative exercises and thought experiments, Yearous-Algozin encourages readers to confront their fears and anxieties about the impending collapse of human civilization, and to embrace the possibility of a new and vibrant world emerging from the ashes.

A Feeling Called Heaven is a powerful and thought-provoking meditation on the human condition, and a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the depths of our existence and the potential for a post-apocalyptic future.
