Thought Crimes by Sophonaut: Recent Episodes
Peter DePaulo
Thought Crimes by Sophonaut’s Peter DePaulo investigates the crimes we commit against our psyche, or rather, the hardest parts of our behavior. From burnout, personality, neuroticism, and more, we explore the bone-chilling behaviors that take away from being the best versions of ourselves.
As a society, we often tend to avoid the topic of death, but as people age and begin dealing with end of life situations, perhaps a loved one with a terminal illness, we don't always know how to approach what a 'good' death looks like. We spoke with Dr. Raihan Faroqui, Head of Medical at Guaranteed, a startup that blends in-home hospice care with cutting edge technology on how they're trying to de-stigmatize death and help people enjoy their end of life experience.
