Being Mortal

Atul Gawande, 2014

A surgeon on what matters at the end of life, and what medicine gets wrong.

Talk about it

  1. What does Gawande think medicine gets wrong at the end of life?
  2. Have you talked with someone you love about what matters most to them at the end?
  3. What should a good old age look like, and who is responsible for it?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
