The search for physical immortality is one of the principal themes
of universal thought and literature, observed in some of the
earliest recorded writings, including "The Epic of Gilgamesh."
"Sherpa" is a philosophical and existential approach to this
age-old human quest. The book synthesizes the different paths that
various cultures--the Chinese, the Tibetan, the Indian, and
others--attempted to pave toward immortality, examining the
consequences of adopting a philosophy and behavior that revolve
around it. The author argues that incorporating the concept of
immortality into everyday life can drastically change an
individual's perception of sexuality, mysticism, the use of
technology, social obligation--in short, the building blocks of
life. The essay discusses individuals who, though they did not
achieve physical immortality, left an enduring legacy, including
scalers of the Himalayas' eight-thousanders and the Sherpa
community.
