How to Do Death Better with Dr. BJ Miller, Episode 113

We’re honored to feature hospice physician and innovator BJ Miller in an amazing discussion about strengths, trends, and the future of end-of-life care.  Dr. Miller is an advocate, thought-leader, and leader on the front lines of end-of-life care.  He has been a physician for 19 years and has counseled over 1,000 patients and family members. This vast experience has led him to understand what people really need when dealing with difficult health situations.   His TED Talk, What Really Matters at the End of Life has had over 11 million views. He’s the co-author of A Beginner’s Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death, which was published in 2019.  BJ also served as medical director for Zen Hospice in San Francisco.  As a co-founder of Mettle Health, he and his team are on a mission to help people reframe the way we think about the road ahead, for ourselves, or someone we’re caring for by dealing with issues “ranging from the practical to the emotional, to the existential.”  What an incredible discussion on the future of hospice care, attitudes towards death, and how end-of-life care is changing for the better!
