A GOOD DEATH
Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.
1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))
You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."

END-OF-LIFE #1 - "Achieving A Good Death," an interview with Chris Palmer
In this series of MINDRAMP Podcasts we will continue to discuss how to flourish as we near the end of our life - but with a special focus. To flourish we need to live a good life and die a good death.
This series of podcasts will focus on achieving a good death. The series is built around a number of interviews with my friend Chris Palmer, who is an expert on end-of-life issues. Chris has published a new book called Achieving A Good Death: A Practical Guide to the End of Life.
In his book, Chris comments that “Death is a transformative teacher, but few want to become willing students.” Death is a difficult subject.
A core message of Chris’s book is that the best way to prepare for a good death is to live the best life possible. Planning for your end-of-life is, in fact, an act of optimism and compassion.
Death is inevitable. We can stumble blindly into the darkness, or we can opt to follow a gentler path that is illuminated by our own insight and vision. If you choose to prepare for the kind of death you want to have, these podcasts will help you understand your options.
