BJ Miller on Death, Meaning, Healing, and the Lost Art of Being Human

About this episode

What if healing isn't about fixing what's broken? In this powerful conversation, BJ Miller joins Rabbi Ron LiPaz to explore mortality, meaning, spirituality, suffering, and the lost art of simply being present for one another. Drawing from his own life-changing accident, years of work in palliative care, and his deeply human approach to medicine, BJ shares why vulnerability and strength belong together, how vocation often reveals itself only in hindsight, and why accompaniment may be one of the most important forms of healing we have.
