Join us for a conversation with BJ Miller & Shoshana Berger, authors of A Beginner’s Guide to the End, a clear-eyed, bighearted book about life’s most universal experience. One of the country’s leading hospice physicians and an experienced caregiver and journalist have teamed up to help us navigate this journey, from how to do your paperwork and navigate the healthcare system to answers to questions you might be afraid to ask your doctor. You’ll learn how to face friends who might not be as empathetic as you’d hoped, and how to talk to your children about your will. And there are also lessons for survivors, like how to shut down a loved one’s social media accounts, clean out the house, and write a great eulogy. Our guests will offer honest, surprising, and practical wisdom for the present day and the years ahead.

“It’s a book that every family should have, the equivalent of Dr. Spock but for this other phase of life.”

—Abraham Verghese, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Cutting for Stone
