First Book: Being Mortal by Atul Gawande
This book is a profound and thought-provoking book. This insightful work explores the limitations of modern medicine when dealing with end-of-life care, challenging us to rethink how we approach mortality. Through personal stories and professional insights, Gawande highlights the importance of dignity, autonomy, and meaning as we navigate the final stages of life. As we delve into this book, we will examine its powerful themes, discussing how they resonate with our own experiences and aspirations for a life well-lived. Together, we will create a space to reflect, share, and grow, using the wisdom of Being Mortal to guide our conversations and deepen our understanding of life's edges.
Our meetings are designed to be warm and welcoming,
providing a safe space for meaningful discussions and reflections.
