Description
How can you prepare for death? While it’s hard to live every day like it’s your last, try and keep regrets to a minimum, advises Dr. BJ Miller, a palliative care physician and a leading voice reframing society's discourse on the field of death and dying. “When you love someone, tell them, act on it. When you want to learn something, go learn it, don't continually put things off. That sort of deferred gratification that we do in the name of discipline can catch up with us in a harsh way.”In this episode of Into The Magic Shop, BJ answers questions from the audience about how to prepare for death: from saving money for death, to wrapping your head around it’s the end of your life - but not life itself. He also discusses why compassion can make you a better caregiver, and how to get involved in the field of palliative care when you don’t have a medical background. “To me, design thinking is if we see illness and death as an experience, well, then we get to create for it and condition it… and your mission, your work, is to be a force in this world that helps people suffer less and love more.”To find out more, download and listen today.On today’s podcast:
