David is one of the world’s foremost experts on grief and loss.

His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has taught him the secrets to living a happy and fulfilled life, even afterlife’s tragedies.

He is the author of six books, including his most recent bestselling book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He co authored two books with Elisabeth Kubler Ross, including On Grief and Grieving updated her 5 stages for grief. His first book, The Needs of The Dying received praise from Saint (Mother) Teresa.

David’s personal experience as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital helped him begin his journey. For most of his life, David has taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about the end of life, trauma, and grief.

He facilitates talks, workshops and retreats for those experiencing grief. However, despite his vast knowledge on grief, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. It inspired him to write his newest book, Finding Meaning.

He is someone whose work has had a profound impact on my life in recent months and the world is truly a better place because of him being here.

He is also the founder of www.grief.com which has over five million visits yearly from 167 countries.

Here are some of things we talked about in today’s podcast:

• The worst loss is the one you're going through; comparing losses only harms yourself.

• Heartbreak is a form of grief, and all endings are a type of death.

• The stages of grief are not a linear process; everyone experiences them differently.

• Changing the story we tell ourselves about grief can help in the healing process.

• Grief must be witnessed by others; isolation only prolongs the healing journey. Our true essence is love, and all other voices are our old wounds.

• Allow yourself to walk through the pain and face it, as running from it will only prolong the healing process.

• Grief is messy and non-linear; it's important to allow the messiness and be with where you are.

• Be with your grief but don't let it become your identity; find healing by not letting past events control your decisions and actions.

• Finding meaning in grief and loss is about who we become and how we show up in the world.

Johann is the author of three New York Times best-selling books that have been translated into more than 37 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people, from Oprah to Noam Chomsky, from Elton John to Naomi Klein.

His new book MAGIC PILL: The Extraordinary Benefits & disturbing risks – the New Weight Loss Drugs is available everywhere now.

This is hat trick appearance on the podcast, you can listen to Episode 281 from June 2020 Johann Hari on Lost Connections and Uncovering The Real Causes of Depression and Anxiety (And The Unexpected Solutions) and episode 363 in January 2022 titled Anxiety, stolen focus and why you can't pay attention.

We go a bit longer than normal in this podcast but as you’ll hopefully see from listening, there was a reason why. On top of providing all the pros, cons, benefits and risks of Ozempic and other weight loss drugs, there’s a brilliant Arnold Schwarzenegger and Australian media appearance story at the end that just summed up why I love Johan so much.

Another must listen episode by one of the great authors and storytellers of our time.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:

• The role Disney and movies play in our expectations of relationships and love
• Where love can take a wrong turn and start to negatively impact our lives
• Why autonomy, not codependency fuels passion
• The reason forgiveness is not always the path to healing
• How to get over an ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend
• Why we can seek what’s familiar in a relationship (not what’s good for us)
• How to release emotional baggage so you don't carry it into your current or next relationship
• Self-love, self-respect and self-worth. The things that we need to find ourselves either in or out of a relationship.
• And much more..
