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 book
How dying conflicts with the American cultural worldview
Why it’s important to die well
The greatest gift you can give someone who’s dying
The role of willpower at the end of life
Psilocybin studies
Spirituality
Atheism
Assisted suicide
Practical tips to prepare for end of life
The importance of communication
