AS FEATURED ON

Hi, I’m Kate Manser. I’m the creator of YOU MIGHT DIE TOMORROW.

Here’s my story.

In the span of six months, three friends died in unrelated, unexpected tragedies. I developed a fear of death that began to take over my life: I would imagine getting hit as I crossed an intersection, envision how the phone call would go when I got the news that my mom died, and avoided taking any risks out of fear.

A year later, my colleague and adventure idol Dan Fredinburg was killed at 33 years old in the Nepal earthquake while climbing Mount Everest. As I struggled to make sense of the loss, I realized that he knew he might die climbing that mountain, but that he had to climb it to truly live.

Everything changed for me: I realized that I have absolutely no control over when or how I die -- but I have complete control over how I live until that mystery moment comes.

All of the energy I spent on my fear of dying was channeled instead into living every day like I might die tomorrow. My greatest fear became my most profound source of motivation.

Since then, I have made major shifts in my life to better align with how I want to live. I left my job at Google to embark on a two-year trip to learn about the world, life, and myself. I created YOU MIGHT DIE TOMORROW, a brand and movement to help people like you really live before you die. It has now touched millions of people around the world. And I wrote a book about my story and how you can face your fear of death to live your most meaningful life.

But no shift has been as radical as my shift in life perspective: I live urgently, love wildly, and am so grateful to be alive.

Life is beautiful. Join me in celebrating every day we have breath in our chests.

With love,
-kate the great
