Top product: Atul Gawande "Being Mortal"
Figure [1]: The book "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande

Angelika Actually, the section for top products is always reserved for Michael, but today it's my turn. I love reading, and this month I devoured one of the best non-fiction books I've read in a long time. The American doctor Atul Gawande, in his work "Being Mortal" (German title: "Sterblich sein"), deals with dying and how modern medicine miserably fails to accompany this process with dignity. It's about what really matters at the end of a life. Through many personal stories (including that of his own father), Gawande illustrates how often people are treated and managed without considering their true needs and seeks ways out of this predicament. Highly recommended!
