"From surgeon and bestselling author Atul Gawande, a book that has the potential to change medicine—and lives."
I received this copy for an honest review from Waterstones a year ago. I never read it back then for no particular reason. Since I have been interested in reading more non-fiction I finally picked this up, not knowing anything about the book or author and it blew me away.
What I liked most is that Atul tells so many personal stories. He writes them with so much emotion and you feel for the people who have been through what they have been through.
When I was done reading the first chapter I honestly have to say I was scared to age, the things that elderly face really hit me. After I continued reading I really came to realize what is important, and what matters in the end.
This is a book about dying, but on your own terms. I think this book is really important to read, it tells such an important message. I would highly recommend.
