right here at 10% happier. So over the past few weeks, we've played UK moments from my interview with the comedian Bill Hayder and also the Buddhist scholar Bhikkhu Bodhi. And this week you're going to hear from a Lua Arthur who's an author and a death doula, which means that her job is to help people as they're dying. And it is Alua who has the aforementioned radical and counterintuitive anti-stress advice. It was actually several years ago right here on the show that Elua gave this advice, but over time it has really stuck in the mind of our managing producer, Lauren Smith.
