Ep. 1: Chronic Worrying and Ep. 2: Keys to a Good Death

Ep. 1: Chronic Worrying and Ep. 2: Keys to a Good Death
Kathryn interviews Tom Baker, author of “One Dog’s Faith: How My Dog Helped Me Trust in God and Overcome Chronic Worrying”. With his business failing, and facing bankruptcy, Baker lost 30 pounds due to stress and was unable to function as a father and husband. It wasn't until he began looking at life through the eyes of his dog, Mango, that he managed to turn things around. Baker has worked in radio and television for over 35 years as a writer, producer and editor. Kathryn also interviews Shanti Project Founder Charles Garfield PhD, author of “Life’s Last Gift: Giving and Receiving Peace When a Loved One is Dying”. A good death is no oxymoron. It’s within everyone’s realm of possibility. Dr. Garfield argues that we need only realize its potential and prepare ourselves to meet it mindfully, with compassion and courage. He is currently a research scholar at the Starr King School for the Ministry at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley.
