About This Book

In Being Mortal, surgeon Atul Gawande explores how modern medicine has mastered survival but often fails aging and dying people. He shows how healthcare prioritizes safety over autonomy, leading to diminished dignity. Through stories and research, Gawande argues that quality of life — honest conversations, personal priorities, and compassionate care — matters most at the end, and that a “good life” should continue even as life draws to a close.
