Renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Henry Marsh joins us to discuss the profound journey of reflection triggered by his own battle with cancer and how his understanding of the institution he worked within shaped his experience as a patient.
How does the knowledge of our mortality influence the way we lead, the choices we make, and the legacy we leave behind? Death is often treated as a taboo subject, but should we instead feel empowered by having discussions about it for the good of ourselves, patients and society as a whole? Join us as Matthew and Henry navigate this essential conversation, uncovering the transformative power of facing mortality head-on, and how acknowledging the inevitability of death can shape our priorities, ambitions, and the impact we have on the world.
Dr. Henry Marsh's book 'And Finally... A Neurosurgeon's Reflections on Life' is available on Vintage Books:
