Being Mortal: Illness, Medicine and What Matters in the End – Atul Gawande (Second-Hand 
Paperback)
 
 
📖 About the Book
Being Mortal is Atul Gawande’s compassionate and thought-provoking exploration of ageing, illness, and what it means to live well until the very end. Blending medical insight with moving human stories, Gawande shows how modern medicine often fails the elderly and terminally ill by focusing only on prolonging life rather than enhancing its quality. He advocates for a more humane approach that honours dignity, autonomy, and meaning at the end of life. This international bestseller has become essential reading for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and anyone reflecting on mortality.
