📖 In her work as a death doula, Alua Arthur has been present for thousands of deaths. Her new book, “Briefly Perfectly Human,” says facing your mortality is the best way to live a purposeful and joyful life.
Arthur herself thinks about dying a lot. As she tells Kerri Miller on this week’s Big Books and Bold Ideas, she has detailed plans for what she’d like her deathbed to be like. But more importantly, she says living with an awareness of mortality helps her live with intention. |

| | Chaotic south Minneapolis shooting leaves at least 3 dead including officer, suspect |
A Minneapolis police officer, a suspected shooter and a civilian are dead after a shooting in the Whittier neighborhood on Thursday. Several others are injured.
Officer Jamal Mitchell died in the shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in an evening news conference.
“He was a hero, a son, a father, a fiancé, and an officer who was so deeply committed to protecting and serving,” Frey said. “Just a year ago Officer Jamal Mitchell was recognized for a heroic act in saving a number of people, an elderly couple, and that is just the kind of person that he was.”
In addition to the dead, a man is injured, a bystander is in critical condition, and an officer and a firefighter were shot but their injuries are not considered life-threatening, officials said. | |
