<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagakure">Hagakure</a>. It is a samurai/bushido training manual, of sorts, written in the early 1700s (Tokugawa era).
It has some good anecdotes and some excellent points now and then (like how to cut someone down in an apologetic manner because they do not behave as they should), but mostly it is focused on how to accept death and approach death as the natural end of life. But not in a depressing gothy way.

Seriously? That actually does sound very interesting hmm....so would it be good for someone who um...tends to get depressed over death to read? I mean to a large extent you could call the depression I suffer over such things clinical...
