In Being Mortal, best-selling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending. Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit.

This book is so beautiful

This book was so cathartic and unbelievably beautiful! I could listen to it over and over again and gain something new every time from Atul’s knowledge and understanding. It’s a must read if you are a child dealing with aging parents. This book is so well thought out and the words resonated with me because he speaks from his own personal experience. It makes it so much more relatable when you know the author has had to walk in your shoes. I am so grateful to Atul Gwande for writing this book!

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Bryan Stevenson is the most amazing writer, his ability to write with clarity and emotion is a true art! The stories about his clients who are and were incarcerated for all the wrong reasons is not only heartbreaking but it is also a crime in itself! It should be read in schools to open the minds of future lawmakers and social justice movements. Maybe that way we can rid this world of white privilege!
