Don’t be fooled, this is not a book about death. In fact, it’s not the least bit sad or depressing. Instead, it’s full of hope, grace, and love.With clarity and joy, Harvard-trained neurologist Gawande shares anecdotal glimpses into a new way of looking at the end of life. His focus is on living fully, each and every day right up to the end. It’s an important book to read, because chances are we each will confront the death of someone close to us. And we’ll be better equipped if we know what questions to ask, how to stimulate values-focused discussions, and how to create a care plan that focuses on living fully until the end. Get it, read it, and be glad Gawande wrote it.
