Research reveals that “the most common cause of death is being alive.” (I love that quote!) In this episode I have a lovely conversation with Dr Jeff Spiess about his work as a hospice physician and his new book, Dying with Ease: A Compassionate Guide to Making Wiser End of Life Decisions.
In this episode, Jeff discusses:
How working with the terminally ill inspired him to write his new bookHow dying conflicts with the American cultural worldviewWhy it’s important to die wellThe greatest gift you can give someone who’s dyingThe role of willpower at the end of lifePsilocybin studiesSpiritualityAtheismAssisted suicidePractical tips to prepare for end of lifeThe importance of communicationResources: The Conversation Project Death CafeTo learn more about Jeff Spiess, please visit his website
