Most of us think we understand what it means to get old, sick, and face death, until it happens to us. This talk reveals why our connections and courageous communication are the true keys to navigating this final chapter with dignity, honesty, and grace.
With five decades as a therapist, author, teacher, and consultant, I help people navigate life’s emotional challenges. I’ve written five books, over 100 articles, and delivered workshops and speeches across the U.S. and Europe, blending professional insight with personal experience. I co-founded Sailors for the Sea to promote ocean conservation, and above all, I treasure my roles as husband, father, and grandfather, drawing meaning and purpose from the connections that shape our lives.
