One of our most popular The Meaningful Life episodes was Regrets of the Dying with author Georgina Scull.
After nearly dying from an ectopic pregnancy, Georgina confronted some of life’s big questions:
Why do we drift through life, planning for tomorrow but not living for today?
Why do we stay in relationships that no longer make us content, or in jobs that fill us with dread?
Why do we allow our doubts to stop us trying new things, or let people treat us badly?
Georgina chose to answer these questions in a unique way: she created a podcast and then a book in which she interviewed people who were dying. She asked each interviewee about their regrets, which ranged from long-lost love never pursued, to leaving behind children too young to remember their mother.
And this week, we’re able to offer one lucky subscriber to this newsletter a copy of Georgina’s book - to enter, just make sure you’ve subscribed, and then comment on this post or reply to this email telling us why you’d like to win the book.
We are giving away a second copy on our social media channels, so feel free to pop over to my Twitter or Facebook for another chance to win.
And as always, if it feels like the right time to start marital therapy, send an email to Tricia (tricia@andrewgmarshall.com) or use this contact form for a virtual or in-person appointment with one of my team of therapists in London, or with me here in Berlin.
With love,

The concept of death has always been on my mind in some shape or form. It makes me appreciate the life I have and wish to live it more to the fullest.
As a hopefully soon to be father (in the middle of the IVF process) a lot of my thinking is spent on the future, winning (and reading) this book would hopefully help me to remember to be in the present, especially once the kiddo arrives, allowing me to be a better husband and father.
