emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

Warning: do not listen to this audiobook while driving you will tear up 

I found this to be a seamless blend of Dr. Gawande’s personal and professional experiences with end of life care for the elderly and terminally ill. The kindness and compassion shown is moving and makes you really think about how you would want to spend the last months of your life and what really matters to you.
