We All Want Impossible Things - with Catherine Newman
Everyone Dies (Every1Dies)
02/03/23 • 55 min
As the Red Queen counseled Alice, she said "Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." How about you?
When faced with serious illness, dying, or death it is natural to want things that are impossible. For example, everyone dies; we may cheat death a time or two, but in the end death is inescapable. If we never died, would life be unendurable and meaningless if it went on forever? This week we explore the elusive parts of life, the seemingly impossible aspects of living.
In this Episode:
- 02:45 - Foods That Can Help You Get Better Sleep
- 12:11 - The World Needs Some Impossible Things
- 29:39 - Interview with Catherine Newman, "We All Want Impossible Things"
- 53:22 - Outro
We talk about the things we want in life but that we can’t seem to get. In the first half Charlie talks about one of those things - sleep - and he has our recipe of the week. Marianne talks about the things in life that seem to be impossible to have, but that we want anyway, and we have an interview with the author of the best-selling book, We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman. This novel is about dying and death of a woman with ovarian with ovarian cancer from the perspective of her best friend since nursery school.
