About this listen

Transform the fear of death into a sense of wonder.

In Undiscovered Country, embark on a riveting exploration of the final frontier and unraveling the mysteries of our last hours. This insightful narrative delves into the complexities of death, dissecting the gradual disintegration of order and control, the skewed metabolic balance, and the profound transformations within our bodies.

Join physician and researcher David Casarett as he guides listeners across this captivating journey that not only explores the extreme moments of life but also encourages a conscious and less daunting approach to life’s final passage. As the science of dying unveils the body’s tactical attempts at self-preservation and the remarkable manifestations of order even in chaos, Casarett explores longstanding mysteries surrounding the precise moment life ceases. Discover how the study of life's culmination provides profound insights into normal functioning and empowers individuals to shape their own pathways toward death, maximizing comfort, alertness, and dignity.

Undiscovered Country bridges scientific inquiry and existential contemplation, empowering listeners to confront and comprehend the inevitable and offering a less fearful approach to the end of life.
