#297 — Preparing for the End

Sam Harris speaks with BJ Miller and Shoshana Berger about
preparing for death. They discuss the difference between
palliative care and hospice, the tension between getting the most
out of life and not clinging to experience, planning for death
while still healthy, the importance of an advance directive,
navigating the healthcare system, pain control at the end of
life, assisted suicide, psychedelic therapy for end-of-life
anxiety, and other topics.
