Nervous Habits with Ricky Rosen

Nervous Habits - Episode 13: You and Everyone You Know Will Die


Listen Later

Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen addresses those pressing issues that are (in this case, literally) keeping you awake at night, including:

--Why despite the fact that our bodies will decay and die, in our unconscious mind, we feel immortal...

--Whether children have an understanding of death, and whether animals ever contemplate their mortality...

--The psychological defense mechanism that we unknowingly use every single day in order to live our lives comfortably...

--How surrendering to the finality of your existence can help you achieve inner peace, and finally...

--What we can learn about how to live our lives today by the regrets people in hospice acknowledge on their deathbeds.
