This was not always an easy read, but it was absolutely necessary. Gawande’s writing is clear and accessible and confirmed a lot of things I’d suspected about the experience of dying in America. I feel more prepared—and motivated—to discuss end-of-life care with my loved ones. I think most people (specifically Americans) could likely benefit from reading this.
