And yet advances in technology have made it ever harder for physicians and patients to make a call to stop fighting death — often at the expense of the quality of this last time of life. Meanwhile, there is a new lo...

Live HAPPIER Longer PodcastA Discussion of "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" by Atul GawandeThis week's episode discusses the important book "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End".

Talks at GoogleAtul Gawande: "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End"Surgeon, public health researcher, and MacArthur fellow Atul Gawande discusses his #1 NY Times bestseller, "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End." Modern medicine has transformed the dangers of birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, what medicine can do often runs counter to what it should do. Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering produced by medicine's neglect of the wishes people might have beyond mere survival.

2019-05-021h 21On Being with Krista Tippett[Unedited] Atul Gawande with Krista TippettWe are strange creatures. It is hard for us to speak about, or let in, the reality of frailty and death — the elemental fact of mortality itself. In this century, western medicine has gradually moved away from its understanding of death as a failure — where care stops with a terminal diagnosis. Hospice has moved, from something rare to something expected. And yet advances in technology have made it ever harder for physicians and patients to make a call to stop fighting death — often at the expense of the quality of this last time of life. Meanwhile, there is a new lo...

Atul Gawande a étudié cette question dans le moindre détail. Il partage ce qu'il pense être la solution : trouver un bon coach qui nous permette de dresser un portrait plus réaliste de nos aptitudes, créer de bonnes habitudes mentales et déconstruire nos actions afin de mieux les reconstruire. « Ce qui compte ce n'est pas à quel point vous êtes bons actuellement mais plutôt à quel point vous le deviendrez, » explique Gawande.

Despite the grave topic, Gawande views it as a book about living. We spoke to him in the greenroom at Th...
