It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to be overly concerned about life after death if we're not clear about what life before death is.
What if death was never part of the human experience? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Kind Mind', Michael Todd Fink invites listeners to confront one of life's greatest mysteries: death. Drawing from his expertise in psychology and mindfulness, Michael explores how our beliefs about the afterlife shape our spiritual and cultural landscapes. He delves into why talking about death remains so challenging, despite its inevitability.
Did you know that only a small fraction of adults discuss their end-of-life wishes with loved ones? Or that a significant portion of healthcare spending occurs in the final months of life, often with little benefit to patients? Michael uses these startling statistics to highlight how unprepared we are as a society to face the end of life.
With compassion and curiosity, he examines different cultural perspectives on dying and questions whether our fear of death hinders our ability to live fully. This episode is not just an exploration of death, but a call to rethink how we approach life itself. Tune in for a conversation that will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to see death—and life—in a new light.
