Description
“Better is a masterpiece, a series of stories set inside the four walls of a hospital that end up
telling us something unforgettable about the world outside.― ―Malcolm Gladwell, author of
Blink“Atul Gawande's insightful book illuminates the challenging choices members of the
profession face every day.― ―Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times“Remarkably
honest and human accounts . . . describing professional moments of fear, guilt, embarrassment,
and humor . . . Rich in fascinating detail.― ―The Economist“It's hard to think of a writer
working today who makes such good use of man's quest to avoid pain and death. Atul Gawande is
not only adding to the small shelf of books by doctors that every layman should read. He's using
medicine to help anyone who hopes to do anything better.― ―Michael Lewis, author of The
Blind Side“Gawande . . . manages to capture medicine in all of its complex and chaotic glory,
and to put it, still squirming with life, down on the page. . . . With this book Gawande inspires all of
us, doctor or not, to be better.― ―Pauline W. Chen, The New York Times Book
Review“Gawande is unassuming in every way, and yet his prose is infused with steadfast
determination and hope. If society is the patient here, I can't think of a better guy to have our
back.― ―Gail Caldwell, The Boston Globe“This is a book about failure: how it happens, how
we learn from it, how we can do better. Although its focus is medicine, its message is for
everybody. . . . It has already been described as a modern masterpiece--and so it is.― ―Jeremy
Lawrence, The Independent (UK)“I found I had been gripping the book so hard that my fingers
hurt. . . . It calls to mind one of the great classics of medical literature, Mikhail Bulgakov's A
Country Doctor's Notebook. Few modern authors could stand that comparison, but Gawande
can.― ―John Carey, The Sunday Times (UK) Read more Atul Gawande, a 2006 MacArthur
Fellow, is a general surgeon at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, a staff writer for The
New Yorker, and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of
Public Health. His first book, Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science, was a
New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the 2002 National Book Award. Gawande lives with
his wife and three children in Newton, Massachusetts. Read more
