BITESIZE | Dr Gabor Maté: 3 Life Lessons People Learn Too Late
Listen on
Today’s guest brings warmth and wisdom to every conversation we have.
Today’s Bitesize is from episode 440 of the podcast with fellow physician, author, speaker and friend, the incredible Dr Gabor Maté.
Gabor is respected the world over as an expert on trauma, stress, addiction and childhood development. He has worked as a family doctor as well as in palliative (end of life) care.
In a previous episode, I had a wonderful conversation with Bronnie Ware, author of The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.
And, in this clip, I explore some of those life regrets with Gabor, and he offers some thought-provoking insights into what they can teach us about the way we live our lives.
We also talk about regret. Gabor says that living life with ‘no regrets’ is about learning and understanding from your perceived mistakes, but not being unkind to who you were then. Instead we should recognise that we did the best we could do at the time.
I hope you enjoy listening.
