Superbook reading list
“Gates reviewed Gawande's book on aging and end-of-life care on GatesNotes and wrote that it changed how he thought about his own family and about what good medicine actually means. He has since cited it as a model for how doctors and institutions should approach the limits of intervention.”

The best books on death and mortality
“The book that forced a public conversation about how American medicine handles dying. Gawande argues — using patient cases and nursing home research — that the goal of medicine should be a good life to the very end, not maximum longevity at any cost. Its influence on end-of-life care policy has been measurable.”
