This audio study guide for Being Mortal: Illness, Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande includes detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book's multiple symbols, motifs, and themes (such as "Mortality" and "Risk-Taking").

In Being Mortal: Illness, Medicine and What Matters in the End, surgeon and author Atul Gawande is on a quest to determine what truly compassionate end-of-life care looks like and how to make it a reality in the modern medicine era. He acknowledges the breakthroughs that have made previously life-threatening illnesses manageable and childbirth safer. Yet human mortality remains an essential fact of life. Combating death has been the business of modern medicine, Gawande asserts, so what does that mean for patients when death is imminent? Drawing on both professional and personal experiences, the author maps a way to face death. His vision for end-of-life care runs counter to contemporary efforts to prolong life by any means, but Gawande makes a compelling case that his is the better way to live and to die.
