Landon Hail Press Publishes Debut on Consciousness and Identity

Landon Hail Press has announced the release of "How I Died At Age 36 But Will Live Forever", a debut book by Colorado estate planning attorney and author Anastasia Fainberg. The work arrives June 18.

The book takes as its central inquiry a foundational philosophical question: Who are we beneath the stories we tell ourselves? Fainberg draws on personal experience, non-dual philosophy, neuroscience, and practical wisdom to construct an examination of suffering, identity, death, and conscious living in contemporary life.

Through this interdisciplinary approach, Fainberg positions her work within a growing body of contemporary philosophy and psychology that interrogates the constructed nature of self and consciousness. The book's title signals its engagement with ego death—a concept explored across contemplative traditions and emerging neuroscientific research—while framing the exploration as both existential investigation and practical guide.

The publication reflects broader currents in trade publishing toward works that integrate lived experience with philosophical and scientific inquiry. Publishers including Landon Hail Press have increasingly sought authors working at the intersection of professional expertise and philosophical questioning, particularly those addressing how consciousness and identity function in contexts of personal transformation.

Fainberg's background in estate planning—a field requiring sustained engagement with mortality, legacy, and questions of what persists—informs her approach to these themes. Her debut positions the professional and personal dimensions of her work as interrelated domains of inquiry into human identity and meaning.
