A 2015 staff favorite recommended by Andrea, who says, "This book should be required reading for everyone who is going to die someday. Oh wait, that's all of us. Our society places so much value on youth and vitality that we don't like to confront the aging process, or the dying process. Well, Gawande does, and he illustrates so beautifully the positive outcomes that can result. A thought-provoking, perspective-changing book.''
