In this episode of Think Thursday, host Molly Watts explores an unconventional yet profoundly impactful idea: how thinking about death can actually help us live happier, more meaningful lives. Drawing from personal experiences, research, and books like Being Mortal by Atul Gawande and Briefly, Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur, Molly discusses how acknowledging our mortality enhances gratitude, presence, and purpose.Key TakeawaysDeath Isn't the Opposite of Life—It Gives It MeaningMany of us resist thinking about death because it feels uncomfortable, but embracing it can deepen our appreciation for life.As death doula Allu Arthur states, "Death isn't the enemy of life. It's what gives it depth."Scientific Research on Mortality Awareness & HappinessStudies in terror management theory suggest that when people are reminded of their mortality, they become more present, grateful, and focused on what truly matters.The "Scrooge Effect" describes how facing the reality of death can inspire positive life changes—just like Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation in A Christmas Carol.Three Powerful Mindset Shifts to Apply This PerspectiveAsk yourself, "How many more times?"Instead of taking moments for granted, reflect on how many more times you'll experience meaningful events (e.g., holidays with loved ones, sunsets, road trips, coffee dates).This shift fosters gratitude and helps us prioritize what truly matters.Use the "Will this matter?" test.If something won't matter in five years, don't spend more than five minutes worrying about it.Let go of small frustrations and focus on what really enriches your life.Create a Reverse Bucket List.Instead of listing what you want to do, list what you're grateful to have already done.Celebrating past experiences helps shift focus from scarcity to appreciation.Challenge for ListenersTake five minutes to reflect:

Chapter 1:Summary of Being Mortal"Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" by Atul Gawande, published in 2014, tackles the delicate topic of aging and death, and how modern medicine has influenced our perspectives and handling of these inevitabilities. Gawande, a surgeon and public health researcher, explores the limitations of medicine in the context of aging and terminal illness and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the quality of life when it may no longer be possible to extend life.The book begins by examining the historical changes in how societies care for the elderly. Gawande contrasts traditional methods—where elderly family members remained at home with the family until death—with modern practices, where the elderly often end up in institutions like nursing homes. He discusses the development of geriatrics as a medical specialty and how it focuses on health management in older adults to improve functionality and well-being, rather than merely extending life.A large part of the narrative is dedicated to the processes and decisions involved in end-of-life care. Gawande criticizes the current medical approach which often prioritizes survival through invasive procedures and long-term treatments that might not necessarily align with the patient's personal desires or lead to a meaningful quality of life. He argues for a shift in perspective towards understanding and respecting the end-of-life wishes of patients, including the acceptance of mortality.Gawande uses personal stories, including those of his patients and his own father, to illustrate the struggles and decisions many face as they approach death. These stories highlight the complex interplay between medical interventions and the personal values and preferred lifestyles of individuals.He advocates for palliative care and hospice as important options that should be better integrated into end-of-life care. These approaches focus on comfort and support, not just survival, emphasizing symptoms management and quality of life.Overall, "Being Mortal" encourages readers—both healthcare professionals and the general public—to rethink how society deals with aging, serious illness, and dying. It promotes a vision of respect for individual desires and dignified treatment that values life quality over mere life extension.Chapter 2:The Theme of Being Mortal"Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" is a non-fiction book by Atul Gawande, which was first published in 2014. The book explores the intersection of medicine, aging, and end-of-life care. Dr. Gawande uses a combination of personal narratives, medical insights, and philosophical musings to address how modern medicine handles aging and dying, and how it can do so with more empathy and effectiveness. Given the non-fiction nature of the book, the "characters" in play are real people, including patients, doctors, and the author himself, and the "plot points" refer to key thematic explorations and narrative anecdotes used throughout the book. Let's discuss the key themes, notable anecdotes for character development, and overarching plot points. Key Plot Points1. Introduction to the Problem: Early in the book, Gawande discusses how modern medicine is phenomenal at solving treatable problems but often falters in the face of terminal illness and natural aging. He raises fundamental questions about the goals of medicine and how it can improve in dealing with the processes of aging and dying.2. The Experience of Aging: Gawande discusses the physical and mental experiences of aging through various stories. He highlights the medical community's struggles to accommodate the chronic conditions and dependency that often accompany old age.3. Institutional Failures: There is an exploration of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Gawande critiques these for often...

We are strange creatures. It is hard for us to speak about, or let in, the reality of frailty and death — the elemental fact of mortality itself. In this century, western medicine has gradually moved away from its understanding of death as a failure — where care stops with a terminal diagnosis. Hospice has moved, from something rare to something expected. And yet advances in technology have made it ever harder for physicians and patients to make a call to stop fighting death — often at the expense of the quality of this last time of life. Meanwhile, there is a new longevity industry which resists the very notion of decline, much less finitude. Fascinatingly, the simple question which transformed the surgeon Atul Gawande's life and practice of medicine is this: What does a good day look like? As he has come to see, standing reverently before our mortality is an exercise in more intricately inhabiting why we want to be alive. This conversation evokes both grief and hope, sadness at so many deaths — including our species-level losses to Covid — that have not allowed for this measure of care. Yet it also includes very actionable encouragement towards the agency that is there to claim in our mortal odysseys ahead.Atul Gawande's writing for The New Yorker and his books have been read by millions, most famously Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End. He currently serves as Assistant Administrator for Global Health at the U.S. Agency for International Development. He previously practiced general and endocrine surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and was a professor at both Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.This show originally aired in October 2017.______Sign up for The Pause — a Saturday morning companion newsletter to the On Being podcast season, and our mailing list for news and invitations all year round.

Twila Reynolds and I talk about the inevitable moment coming to all of us: the day of our death.   Twila Reynold is retired.  She spent most of her professional years in the commercial insurance industry.  But, later, she changed fields and worked in the administrative medical field, which has always interested her. When she began working at the VA Medical Center, she started as an Invasive Procedure Coordinator in the CT area. She later moved to Human  Resources, where she handled all the worker compensation claims for that facility.   Twila directed me to the book Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. A PBS documentary by the same name is available on YouTube at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQhI3Jb7vMg Atul Gawande is a surgeon who explores the inevitable process of aging and ultimately death, and takes a critical look at how the medical profession does not yet have a firm grip on how to handle these processes well. He explores the birth of nursing homes, independent and assisted living facilities, and the various roles modern hospice programs can play to support those nearing the end of their lives. Gawande shares several stories of those who were adeptly aided through the process of growing frail as well as those were not so lucky. Finally, Gawande shares what he has learned about how each of us should approach our mortality as well as that of those we love.  

About ten years ago, Dr. Atul Gawande published Being Mortal and it became a New York Times bestseller. A trained surgeon, Dr. Gawande was trained to target a specific problem and fix it. In this book, however, he uses a mix of facts and stories to reveal a truth we must all accept. The body and the mind break down. Gawande skillfully captures the way people age and the ways we have supported older adults over time. More important, he issues a challenge. Over time, medicine, safety, and health standards have been given a supreme role in the care and support of older adults. Being Mortal warns against the over-medicalization of care for older people at the expense of finding what truly makes each adult's life worth living. Being Mortal is not just a reflection on the ideal form of caring for older adults. It's a call to accept that we will all become frail, to plan for that inevitable stage of life, and to consider what a good life will look like for us at that time.

We're wise enough to know it's about time to revisit this wisdom episode from the vault. We share our feelings about feeling our age and some excellent advice we caught about living with a little longing—and we very much would like to hear if this one hits differently the second time around. Some readings that impacted how we've been navigating aging include Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, Casey Johnston's Swole Woman program, Cheryl Wischover's “What Changed When I Started Lifting Weights” in the Gloria newsletter, and Kayleen Schaefer's “How 50 Pushups A Day Helped Me Cope In An Uncertain World” for Elle.

Today's episode was made possible by the power of the platform formerly known as Twitter (which I can't bear to refer to by its new name and logo but that's a whole other story)I was blown away by Tim Ewins' novel Tiny Pieces of Enid which I was given by a friend a few weeks ago.  As the excessive extrovert that I am, I NEEEDED to talk about it and turned to twitter and a "has anyone read this? Who can I talk about it with?" post was responded to in moments by none other than Tim himself!!!Tiny Pieces of Enid  is primarily a love story with at it's heart Enid and Roy, an elderly couple whose world is about to be torn in two by the realisation that they cannot stay living in their home together. Theirs is a story familiar to many of us who work in the community, but hearing their voices and seeing their responses through their eyes is so important.Among other things we mention how well this book would fit in a trio with Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey and  Three Things About Elsie by Joanna Cannon, the ideas of allowing acceptable risks to be taken by older adults as explored in Being Mortal by Atul Gawande.You can buy Tiny Pieces of Enid (and the other three slightly related books!) here from my favourite bookshop or from any other bookshop you choose: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/scarthinbooks

On Episode 10 of Season 3 , I spoke with my grandmother, Sydell Aaron. Ultimately, we all become consumers of Healthcare, like it or not. On Healthcare Reimagined, I typically showcase healthcare innovation - the truth is that innovations are only interesting in so far as they are making life  better for patients. Last week I spoke with my grandmother about her experience as a consumer of U.S. healthcare over the past 9 decades. Sydell, or Meema as I call her, was born in 1932. In 1929, 3 years before she was born, the first polio patient was saved.  In the 1940's when Meema was a teenager, scientists succeeded in isolating penicillin and antibiotics became widely available for the first time. Before that, you could die from a simple infection. The first kidney transplant was done in 1952, when Meema was 20.  In 1964, for the first time human blood was successfully stored. Meema was 32 years old, with 3 children.Meema has already lived 50% longer than the average life expectancy for a woman the year she was born (it was 62 back then). We spoke about her family doctor making house calls, the awe and wonder of medicine before technology that made medical information available to all, and about the trade off between safety and independence as one gets older.We discussed a few quotes from Atul Gawande's book Being Mortal, and the loss of independence as one ages.  One of the quotes from Gawande's book really captured the essence of the challenge Meema faces in her interactions with her adult children. They want the best for her, as she knows, but at times, they infringe upon her freedom in an effort to protect her: "We want autonomy for ourselves and safety for those we love.” We went on to discuss the framework in which death is addressed in U.S. Healthcare, and a system that selects for those who can and want to fix things (Doctors), when sometimes the best option is not to fix but to provide comfort in one's final days. We closed with a discussion about Meema's own hopes, desires, and observations after over 9 decades on this pale blue dot we all call home. Please make sure to check out the Society for HealthCare Innovation's (SHCI) website for more content.

Eleanor Rutter is Assistant Director of Public Health at Sheffield City Council, and Leader of Sheffield's Compassionate Sheffield programme.A talented mathematician as a child, Eleanor went to medical school out of a need to seek the approval of other people. Following a complicated pregnancy, she was away from work as a hospital doctor for 18 months, after which she went into public health. She had a further two children and time off through mental ill-health, and the training programme, nominally five years, took her 12 years to complete.She had a false start in an authority with what she feels was an ‘over-medicalised' model of public health, but has now found her feet in what she describes as her “dream job.”In her current role, Eleanor leads the Compassionate Sheffield programme. It is in fulfilment of the city's 2018 public health objective to ensure that everyone has a dignified death in a place of their choice. She soon found out that there were a lot of compassionate communities doing good work in this area.Eleanor's approach is informed by the academic work of Professor Allan Kellehear at the University of Bradford. It recognises dying as a social and spiritual process first and foremost, rather than a medical one. She says that communities and neighbourhoods are best placed to allow people to live the complete lives they choose to value.Eleanor's team comprises two community development workers, one of which is an end-of-life doula, a communications officer, a clinical lead, and a programme manager. They are funded by Public Health Sheffield City Council, the ICB (Integrated Care Board), and St Luke's Hospice. She says the team is an enabler, building capacity, confidence and connections within and between communities. The main strands of the team's work to date have been advance care planning, developing training to help people navigate the end of life, building ‘death literacy' through death cafes, and leading Sheffield's covid memorial project.Atul Gawande's book ‘Being Mortal' has also had a strong influence on Eleanor's thinking. She says that by not listening to people and over-medicalising their problems we are at risk of stripping away their humanity.The next stage for Compassionate Sheffield is to build on the work that people did in the pandemic as compassionate neighbours. In the longer term, Eleanor feels that compassion runs through everything we do and its potential is far greater than transforming the end of life. For example, in Sheffield's economic anchor organisations many people are in a conversation with Michael West concerning compassionate leadership. She says “I don't think it's just a silly pipe dream, this idea of Sheffield becoming a compassionate city in its entirety.”Sheffield has not intentionally diverged from the Frome Model, which is the basis of Compassionate Communities UK. Rather, Sheffield's Health and Wellbeing Board, aware of the compassion that was already manifest in Sheffield's communities, wanted to grow Compassionate Sheffield using an asset-based approach.As white and middle class, Eleanor is very conscious of her privilege. Therefore, she has a problem with the term ‘achievements' and feels that often she has just needed to “scoop up the opportunities that were given to me.” Only two or three times in her career has she been faced with making a genuinely tough choice, which on one occasion involved insisting on doing the right thing even though her position was unpopular with some very senior colleagues.Through therapy Eleanor has learnt to see life as a learning process. One of the things she has learnt is the power of saying sorry and actually meaning it. Eleanor credits therapy as being the experience that has changed her the most. She put herself “heart and soul” into it. It was gruelling, but she is “massively transformed” and no longer driven by self-loathing.Otherwise,...

Psychotherapist writer Philippa Perry and Professor of Neuroscience Anil Seth join Harriett Gilbert to talk about books they love. Anil Seth, who explores consciousness and the self in his book Being You, recommends Klara and The Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, where our near-future world is seen through the eyes of an Artificial Friend. Philippa Perry's choice is A Stranger City by Linda Grant, a novel with a mystery at its heart and is about how lives interweave in the city. And Harriett Gilbert loves the non-fiction book Being Mortal by American surgeon Atul Gawande, which asks what medicine is for in the face of death.

Becky Quick highlights the biggest takeaways from the first in-person Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting since 2019. At what's affectionately nicknamed the “Woodstock for Capitalists,” Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger answered hours of shareholder questions about their $40 billion March buying spree, inflation, bitcoin, and why the Robinhood trading app is justly ‘unraveling'. Among the guests at the meeting: actor and comedian Bill Murray, who is also a Berkshire shareholder. In a candid interview with Becky Quick and Mike Santoli, Murray spoke for the first time about the complaints of inappropriate behavior on the set of the movie, ‘Being Mortal,' and its subsequent pause in production. He reflects on the evolution of his own comedy and on life lessons in perpetual learning from Buffett and Munger.

Kiki gives Hoja and Mohanad a much-needed update on the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial. The trio breaks down the allegations claiming Bill Murray got a little too “handsy” on the set of Aziz Ansari’s new movie, Being Mortal. They unpack the actor’s long history of bad behavior, get into his bizarre voicemail policy, and take their picks for which old white man they’d choose to replace him in the film. Then, Hoja brings the 2000s nostalgia with her review of White Hot, the new Abercrombie & Fitch documentary. Plus, Mohanad sends a message to his girlfriend, Hoja realizes she’s unrelatable, and Kiki ignores our texts on this week’s Sorry Not Sorry.

This week’s Nose would come straight to your home and do it on the weekends too. This week was week three of John C. Depp II v. Amber Laura Heard, Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard (in which she’s countersued for $100 million). It is nothing if not a sordid tale where no one looks particularly innocent.
