Mike Koenigs introduces the "table of eight"—a thought experiment and personal practice for choosing eight people to spend your final week of life with. He frames the idea as originating in a small group conversation (Vivian, JJ Virgin, Tim) and asks listeners to imagine they have taken care of all family needs and must select eight companions for their last week. The clip is an introductory anecdote explaining the core rule and origin.

Chapters

We called it the table of eight. The basic idea behind the table of eight is it originally began with Vivian and myself and JJ Virgin and her husband Tim and I sitting around. And I don't remember if I made this up or I heard it once, but the basic idea is, imagine you took care of every family member you had, and you had one week left to live. You got to pick eight people you wanted to be with during the last week of your life.
