About this book

In Being Mortal Atul Gawande takes us on a profound exploration of aging, illness, and perhaps the intractable problem of medicine, its final frontier. By means of personal stories and expert perspective, Gawande demonstrates how we might value quality of life, dignity, and meaningful choice during life’s end. A compassionate and thought provoking look at care, as well as living and dying.
