Description

After being electrocuted at age 19, BJ Miller had three of his limbs amputated. He went on to a career in palliative care, working with patients with terminal or life-altering illnesses. Recently he turned his experience into his first book, A Beginner's Guide to the End (co-written with Shoshana Berger) and started his own palliative care company, Mettle Health. On this episode, Dr. Miller and Clay talk about what it takes to accept death as a reality (instead of something to be avoided) and how that can liberate you in both small and profound ways.
