Meeting The End with Frank Ostaseski & Chris Grosso – The Indie Spiritualist Ep. 129

Encouraging listeners to examine their relationships with death and endings, Frank Ostaseski and Chris Grosso talk about living fully. In this deep conversation, Chris and Frank Ostaseski go over: - Death, dying, and what we can learn about living fully - Death as our secret teacher - The relief of impermanence versus the oppression of permanence - Ram Dass’ idea of death being like taking off a tight shoe - Breaking the walls of our identity and living a life that is more curious - Frank’s 5 invitations to living well and dying without regret - Witnessing transition through a different lens - Perspectives on what happens after we die - Being with people who are dying and walking side by side - Working with fear and distinguishing emotion from object - Setting aside our judgments and welcoming experiences “To imagine that at the time of our dying, we’re going to have the mental stability, the emotional strength, the mental clarity to do the work of a lifetime, is a ridiculous gamble. The time for the conversation is now.” – Frank Ostaseski
