On today’s podcast we have the wonderful Tim Baker. Tim is the former editor of Tracks and Surfing Life magazines and a bestselling author including the books ‘High Surf’ and ‘Surf Your Life’ which he wrote with Mick Fanning. Tim’s new book, ‘Patting the Shark’ is a story of learning how to live well with metastatic prostate cancer.
What I personally love about this conversation is Tim’s absolute rawness. We delve into topics that are for most what would be uncomfortable. We discuss the unspoken world of hormone therapy, of chemical castration, the loss of testosterone, a hormone men are built upon, and Tim’s experience with the fluidity of identity. We discuss taking an integrative approach to cancer; a partnership of conventional therapy and the importance of meditation, exercise, diet and sleep. We explore what quality of life actually means to someone with a terminal illness, and we get into mindset, my favourite, on how to make peace with your mortality, stare down your fears and work out what really matters in life.
Please enjoy this conversation with the beautiful Tim Baker.
