- In this conversation, CCARE’s founder and director, Dr. James Doty, will ask Dr. BJ Miller about his life’s work and how compassion has played a role.
Dr. BJ Miller is a palliative care physician at UCSF and a leading voice reframing society’s discourse on the field of death and dying. His interests are in working across disciplines to affect broad-based culture change and in cultivating a civic model for aging and dying. He invites us to think about, and discuss, the end of our lives through the lens of a mindful, human-centered model of care, one that embraces dying not as a medical event but rather as a universally shared life experience.
Informed by his own experiences as a patient, BJ powerfully advocates the roles of our senses, community and presence in designing a better ending. He brings a unique blend of training, experience and commitment to furthering the message that suffering and dying are fundamental and intrinsic aspects of life and is widely recognized for his efforts in cultivating a larger dialogue on this full scope approach to the reality of life and death.
His TED Talk, “What Really Matters at the End of Life” has been viewed over 8 million times and his work have been the subject of multiple interviews and podcasts including Oprah Winfrey, PBS, The New York Times, The California Sunday Magazine, Krista Tippett, Tim Ferriss, and the TED Radio Hour. BJ’s practical guide for preparing for death, entitled A Beginner’s Guide to the End, co-authored with Shoshana Berger, will be released in July 2019.
“Those who have done their homework... doesn’t hate themselves for dying”. At the end, that’s how I wanna feel. Actually, if there is life after that, it will be amazing, and if we have a chance to come back and correct our mistakes in another life, that would be even better. Thinking like that makes me live a comfort life almost fearless of dying. I have nothing to lose thinking like that.
Smart man. Found his laugh to be adorable 😅
IT IS VERY POWERFUL BEING HERE, NOW, IN THE ETERNAL NOW MOMENT. IT IS OUR RESPONSE ABILITY, TO BRING OUR FULL PRESENCE INTO THE MOMENT. THIS IS THE GIFT OF BEING RADIANTLY ALIVE AND LIVING IN GRATITUDE.
Getting to your "Magic Shop" books is such a gift. Thank you, I fell in love with little Jim and his amazing journey. Much love
such an amazingly open, tender and infinitely wise human - I learn something so profound with every talk he is part of :) Thank you, it is making me a better New Thought Minister
Grief. Grief kills before a natural death. It over rules the desire for life and kills people in the mind and heart.
I feel the same way.
I love what you are doing for our world
THANK YOU FOR THIS DEEPLY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE BALANCED DIALOGUE. INSPIRATIONAL FOR SURE, GENTLEMEN.. NAMASTE.
Thanks you this helps.
I respect your experience and knowledge...Mahalo
Thank you so much for this 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Noodle Yes, adorable laugh :);But even more adorable --the man. . . . WHADDA guy!
I am from the school of doctors who beleive we cherish life above anything else, and even when the quality is not that we desire still we fight to preserve it. Even if circumstances when you face the worst odds still we search for a that miracle cure, because we are constantly finding new therapies and just stopping and saying let's help him rationalize the fear of death instead of doing your job is failing the patient.. He came to you to treat him not to be his pastor or spiritual healer when you (neuroscientist) sat you don't believe in anything beyond so life in itself is worthless and has no deeper meaning.
😂
MY DAUGHTER EXPERIENCED EXTREME CRUELTY IN STANFORD HOSPITAL - SO THESE COMPASSION SEMINARS ARE VERY UNSETTLING TO THE POINT OF HORRIFIC. ALTHOUGHT BJ SEEMS LIKE A DECENT PERSON - I KNOW STANFORD IS NOT A DECENT PLACE.

I’m an atheist, but it’s okay because I’m a Republican......HaHaHa....... If that’s one of the factors for longer life, then I’m seroconverting.
Too much talking..but not enough specifics...not really getting at the Real Dying..a lot of blah blah..
