Is it possible to “breathe one’s last”  without regrets, big or small? 

Best-selling author and behavioral change expert Karen Salmansohn thinks so. Her latest book, Your To Die for Life: How to maximize joy and minimize regret before your time runs out, offers some ideas and protocols that just might do the trick. 

Join podcast host Jane Trombley and Karen as they discuss the book’s key message: the importance of Core Values as an antidote to late-in-life or even deathbed regrets. 

How did Karen uncover the core values? By identifying some key regrets and reverse-engineering them into strategies to help avoid the most common, our hustle, hustle lifestyle

“A lot of people work too hard,” said Karen. “We worship productivity.” But there’s a cost.

“At your funeral, nobody’s going to get up and read your LinkedIn profile,” Karen continued. “You won’t be remembered for the work to attain status, or outward success. It will be the stories where you showed your Core Values - how you treated people, how you listened, and your kindness.”

That’s how we all want to be remembered
