Ep. 524: Do Not Ignore Your Mortality

Guest: Greg Barnsdale

Life offers only one guarantee and that is it will end.

Greg Barnsdale knows this well and he warns, “Do not ignore your mortality.” In fact, that is the name of his book, which is a guide filled with practical advice.

Barnsdale says, “Having your final affairs in order helps reduce the stress of aging, leaves survivors more financially and emotionally resilient, and creates more meaningful legacies. The process often benefits charities and takes immense pressure off the courts from having to deal with so many unorganized estates. Collectively, they help the economy."

According to The Order of the Good Death, “People who are death positive believe that it is not morbid or taboo to speak openly about death. They see honest conversations about death & dying as the cornerstone of a healthy society.”

We invited Greg Barnsdale, the author of “Do Not Ignore Your Mortality,” to join us for a Conversation That Matters about healthy and practical planning for our own mortality.
