Podcast #79 Dr Ira Byock – Palliative Care Physician and Author – The Four Things that Matter Most

Dr Ira Byock – leader in palliative care, advocate for patients, and author – joins me this week. We discuss: What might it mean to “die well”? Why is the nature of serious illness more personal than medical? What  are the “four things that matter most”? What does “forgiveness” mean? How do the phrases he writes about in The Four Things that Matter Most apply to any of us, at any time in our lives? This week’s BLBD conversation really grabbed me, because it is about dying, sure, but it is far more about living… and living with humility and kindness.
