###### This routine guides you through a meditation to cultivate your capacity for happiness, even amidst life's difficulties. The benefits include: - Strengthening your ability to access joy and positivity - Holding space for both happiness and heartache - Developing equanimity and presence [VIVOBAREFOOT](https://bit.ly/3TEodgh) is sponsoring today's show. To get 20% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER visit: https://bit.ly/3TEodgh Download my FREE Breathing Guide [HERE](http://bit.ly/3WbGHUw) Since his first appearance on Feel Better Live More, way back in 2018, Dr Gabor Maté has become a valued friend, as well as a regular guest. I'm proud to say that he recently joined me in London as a guest speaker on the Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine course that I co-created with Dr Ayan Panja, to teach healthcare professionals the principles of lifestyle medicine. We recorded this conversation - Gabor's 4th appearance on my show - a couple of weeks ago in London the day before that event, and we both agreed that it is perhaps our favourite conversation to date. For anyone not aware, Gabor is respected the world over as an expert on trauma, stress, addiction and childhood development. He is a physician, speaker and international bestselling author of some truly game-changing books such as When the Body Says No and The Myth of Normal - which has just come out in paperback. As this is Gabor's 4th appearance on my podcast, I was keen to explore some new ground and different topics. Gabor has worked as a family doctor as well as in palliative (end of life) care. Back on Episode 383 of this podcast, I had a wonderful conversation with Bronnie Ware, author of the book, The Five Regrets of the Dying and I thought it would be interesting to examine each of these 5 regrets, through the lens of Gabor's thoughts and work. We chat through all five of these regrets and Gabor provides some thought-provoking insights on each of them. He explains why we work so hard to the detriment of time with family and friends. We talk about how disease can be a teacher, why it's vital children grow up able to express their emotions, and how we wish more doctors were aware of the connection between emotions and physical health. We discuss happiness and if it's possible to be happy or seek happiness when there is so much suffering in the world. This leads us on to talk about the nature of forgiveness, curiosity, compassion, and also 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. Like all of my previous episodes with Gabor, this is a powerful conversation full of compassion, knowledge and wisdom. I hope you enjoy listening. \#feelbetterlivemore Connect with Gabor: Website: https://drgabormate.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drgabormate/ YouTube: [@drgabormate9132](https://www.youtube.com/@drgabormate9132) Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrGaborMate Gabor's books: - The Myth of Normal - [US](https://amzn.to/3VIyuKV) [UK](https://amzn.to/3RAgDB9) - In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts - [US](https://amzn.to/49pVcuq) [UK](https://amzn.to/2zlLbR5) - Scattered Minds - [US](https://amzn.to/3xsANHL) [UK](https://amzn.to/2PvKYou) - When the Body Says No - [US](https://amzn.to/49nWczj) [UK](https://amzn.to/2zdWc6B) - Hold on to Your Kids - [US](https://amzn.to/4aB7QrF) [UK](https://amzn.to/2QUCAeK) \#feelbetterlivemore \#feelbetterlivemorepodcast Sign up to my newsletter - [FRIDAY FIVE](https://drchatterjee.com/fridayfive) Find out about [THE THREE QUESTION JOURNAL](https://bit.ly/3TSaYtX) Order [HAPPY MIND HAPPY LIFE](https://amzn.to/3DRxjgp) (US & Canada) or [UK](https://amzn.to/304opgJ) Read [FEEL GREAT LOSE WEIGHT](https://amzn.to/2GWPgls) (US & Canada) or [UK](https://amzn.to/2W6bsOE) Order [FEEL BETTER IN 5](https://amzn.to/2EB2oM0) (US & Canada) or [UK](https://amzn.to/2G0XK7l) Read [THE STRESS SOLUTION](https://amzn.to/2MZ8u8h) Order [THE 4 PILLAR PLAN](http://amzn.to/2yGfpuB) or the US version [HOW TO MAKE DISEASE DISAPPEAR](https://amzn.to/2Gj1YEL) Listen to all podcast episodes on [https://drchatterjee.com/podcast](https://drchatterjee.com/podcast) or via these podcast platforms by searching for 'Feel Better, Live More': - [Apple Podcasts](https://apple.co/feelbetterlivemore) - [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/6NyPQfcSR9nj0DPDr2ixrK) Follow Dr Chatterjee at: - Website: https://drchatterjee.com/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drchatterjee - Twitter: https://twitter.com/drchatterjeeuk - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchatterjee/ - Newsletter: https://drchatterjee.com/subscription DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
