    This summary did not inspire me to read the book. Poor summary.

    Quite well written, I would recommend this for anyone who is interested in the actual book but has no time or is simply too lazy to read the actual book. This book honestly was very interesting, it captivated me. I was told by my friends to read the book and I don't have much time but this summary made it very easy to read about it and talk to my friends about the book without spending days on end reading the actual book.

    As a nurse for over 30 years, I can validate all of Atul's concerns. I too could've written on this topic with multiple examples of tests and treatments making patients last days miserable when could have been spent living and planning closure.

    I'm not really sure how to feel about this summary as I have never read a book in this form before. I feel that now I need to read the whole book and after I would know if this summary book was well done, or not. From that perspective I would say it was of benefit as it has inspired me to read the whole book.

  • Well done

    As a senior citizen and someone who works with hospice patients, I felt the message was a treasure! It helped my understanding of the aging process. I will buy the book now.
