What I learned from 1,200 conversations with the dying—about purpose, love, forgiveness, and how to live fully now.

A moving firsthand story of how hospice care began, and how it transformed U.S. medicine and end-of-life dignity.

From Thailand to Canada to rural India: What the world’s hospice programs taught me about healing across cultures.

How institutions can lead with purpose—from pandemic response to palliative care systems—with lessons from a career in academic leadership.

6. Living Longer with Better Health 

A bold, compassionate talk on how aging can be a season of vitality, meaning, and improved well-being—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
