Fans of Heartwood: The Art of Living With the End in Mind include Gloria Steinem and Katie Couric. The author of this                      memoir joins us today to discuss living fully with fully knowledge that this life will end –– for our loved ones, and for us. Barbara weaves fascinating tales into this interview. Among them: finding a photo in her father’s wallet of his deceased first wife, an unseen family member whose presence helped shaped her childhood. Becker, an Interfaith minister, shares how her studies of Buddhism, indigenous traditions, and other wisdom teachings, as well as her work with hospice patients, has helped her develop a positive attitude towards death that makes life all the more precious.
